Cartouche met de wereldkaart 1598 - 1601

"Cartouche met de wereldkaart" (Cartouche with the World Map) is an anonymous engraving from 1598-1601. The map depicts the world in a circular form, surrounded by a decorative cartouche with Latin text. The continents are labeled in Latin, and the map shows a relatively accurate representation of the world for its time, considering the recent discovery of the Americas and exploration of the oceans. This map is an example of early cartographic art and the growing understanding of global geography in the 16th century.
