Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557) and Giacomo Gastaldi (fl. 1539-1566)
Universale della Parte del Mondo Nuovamente Ritrovata. [Venice: 1606].
Strong, fresh impression of this important map of the Western Hemisphere, the first printed map of the Americas to include any of the names from the travels of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado of 1540-1542. Issued in Ramusio's Terzo Volume delle Navigationi et Viaggi, which contains an account of Coronado's explorations: 'Coronado was the first European to travel extensively the southwestern part of North America ... He was searching for the great cities of Cibola and Quivera, both of which proved disappointing ... The Sierra Neuadas appear for the first time, following the voyage of Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo, in 1542, when he sailed two vessels along the Californian coastline as far as Santa Barbara' (Burden). Third state, with the geography unchanged, and only minor alterations to the title and pagination. Burden 24; Wagner, Northwest Coast 35.

Woodcut map of the Americas, image diameter 275 x 265 mm (300 x 402mm sheet).
