Description

This was the standard map of the area for a generation, copied after Ortelius. Both cartouches in the map are copies of designs by Hans Vredeman de Vries.
The map shows an area corresponding roughly to the modern Mexican states of Michoacan, Jalisco, Mayarit, and Guerrero, plus the Valley of Mexico.
De Bry's work, more than any other illustrated text up to its time, shaped the way Europeans pictured the New World and its inhabitants during the Discovery Period.
