Martin
Waldseemüller
was a German cartographer, who was regarded as one of Worlds finest
cartographers, best known for his Universalis Cosmographia, a 12-sheet
woodblock map dated 1507. Not only was it one of the first maps to
precisely chart latitude and longitude, but it was the first to reference the
name "America" (honoring Amerigo Vespucci). One of
Waldseemüller's
gore globes sold for
$1002,267 USD, thus
fetching a world
record price for such items.
