Info created by Martin Waldseemüller / Library of Congres, uploaded by Jackaranga, nominated by Yann (talk) 11:56, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Support Martin Waldseemüller's map from 1507 is the first map to include the name "America" and the first to depict the Americas as separate from Asia. There is only one surviving copy of the map, which was purchased by the Library of Congress in 2001 for $10 million. -- Yann (talk) 11:56, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
