Cartobibliographic notes:
Sometimes known as the Hakluyt Martyr map, this map accompanies Richard Hakluyt's translation of Peter Martyr's eight Decades. The map is significantly different from many maps which came before it. The erroneous bulge of the western coast of South America is gone and the northwestern coast of North America is not as extended as earlier maps hypothesized. The map also lacks the large southern continent often shown on maps of this period. It includes many references to Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation.This is the first mention of New Mexico on a printed map and the first appearance of an inland lake there. Probably the inclusion of these two features comes from the account published in 1586 of Antonio de Espejo who was sent in 1582 to rescue 3 missing Franciscan friars and describes a large lake found in the area. The identity of the engraver is uncertain, but Burden thinks it may be Leonardo Galter or Gaultier, despite the fact that the initials, "F.G.S." are included in the cartouche at the bottom; he does not believe that they refer to Filips Galle S[cripsit]., the engraver of the miniature Ortelius atlas.
