Name: Waldseemuller



Creator: Waldseemuller Martin
Year: 1507





Description:  The pictures of Ptolemy in the upper left and Amerigo Vespucci in the upper right lead some to theorize This map is the first time that the name "America" was ever used and was named for Vespucci's 1497 voyage which is believed to be the first time that anyone actually set foot on American soil.  The belief in a new continent was a radical idea at the time. Vespucci may have collaborated with Martin Waldseemuller and Matthias "Philesius" Ringmann on this map.
