Early Spanish Cartography of the New World

The evolution of New World cartography is but incidentally the theme of this paper. Its primary purpose is to direct attention to some of the more striking facts in the development of Spanish cartography until the appearance of its best type-that which may be called the Sevillan, and to consider this best type as we find it exhibited particularly in the Wolfenbuttel-Spanish map.
