Sebastian Cabot's World map, ca. 1544.
World Map by Sebastian Cabot, 1544, Antwerp - found by Dr. Jon Martius in the home of a Bavarian curate in 1843. Obtained by the French government the next year, the map was deposited in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, where it still remains. Although the map does not have an author, title, or date, Sebastian Cabot has been credited as its creator. By the time a second edition circulated in London in 1549, Cabot's name appeared unchallenged as its author.
