Description

In 1901 Josef Fischer discovered the Waldseemüller Map of 1507 - the first map to depict the world largely as we know it today. In 2003 the Library of Congress bought the Waldseemüller Map for $10 million in the most expensive acquisition of a single document in American history. The Fourth Part of the World tells the epic story of the voyagers and thinkers who created this remarkable map.
