The Cantino Planisphere, 1501 AD.
This is one of the oldest world maps that includes America, albeit partially. The relevance of this map, however, is normally misplaced. We tend to believe that when America was discovered to the rest of the continents in 1492, the rest of the world had been already tamed. Far from the truth.
The real fact is that navigation east from Europe to India surrounding Africa was not achieved until 1499. It was the Portuguese who discovered this new route that ended the monopoly of Venice over spice and other products of the Silk Road. The feat, achieved by the Portuguese Vasco da Gama in 1499, was summarized in a map that instantly became the path to immense riches and a state secret for Portugal.
Paradoxically, the Cantino World map takes its name from the Italian spy that stole this secret only two years after. It is the copy Cantino obtained in Lisbon and secreted to Genoa that survived and we admire now.

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
