The first printed map of the Pacific

The earliest obtainable map of the Pacific Ocean (Maris Pacificum) and one of the most sought-after of Ortelius's atlas maps, first published in 1590 despite being engraved in 1589. It pre-dates the concept of California as an island, has a huge island of New Guinea and an unrecognisable Japan. The south Pacific is filled with a vignette of the 'Victoria', Magellan's ship. His route through the Magellan Straits is shown, with Terra del Fuego depicted as part of the huge 'Terra Australis'.
