1507 Martin Waldseemuller World Map Poster

Universalis Cosmographia: Sometimes referred to as "The Birth Certificate of America" or "The Map that Named America", the Waldseemüller Map, Universalis Cosmographia, was the first to affix the name America to the New World, and Waldseemüller and his partner Matthias Ringmann are credited with naming the continents (or at that point, South America) in honour of the Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Only a few hundred copies were made. Thought lost for hundreds of years, the sole known surviving copy was rediscovered in a castle library in the early 1900's, where it stayed for another century until the Library of Congress acquired it for 10 millions dollars. High Resolution image suitable for large or small copies. This is a reproduction of an early Martin Waldseemller map and may have been digitally enhanced to repair flaws, major stains, etcetera. Vintage World Map by Martin Waldseemüller. Image courtesy of OldBookArt.com.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.

Zazzle's pictures are Amazing - I can't find these Products in the type of papers I need anywhere else. They cut them to the exact size you need , often changing the proportions to your exact requirement, The Customer Support are second to none , helpful, friendly and polite . Incredible Company - The prices are Great and so much to choose from. The Prints are clear and well Defined.
