In 1501 Alberto Cantino commissioned a Portuguese official to make a map with all the latest discoveries known to the Portuguese. That large map incorporated discoveries made by several explorers in the first decade of the 16th century and revealed unpublished details of Portuguese trade routes.

This bookplate sketch of a portion of Cantino's map is from "The Discovery of America" by John Fiske, 1892. |
