Note:
Cordiform woodcut world map showing an expanded North America. It depicts America and Asia as one landmass. Girava based this map on a 1545 wall map by Caspar Vopell who is acknowledged in the legend below the map. This map has the same cordiform projection used in Martin Waldseemuller's wall map of the world from 1507. Figures on the map are Gaius Julius Solinus to the left and Strabo to the right holding the tools of their trade. Also noted is Balboa's discovery of the Pacific Ocean.
