Americae Pars Borealis, Florida, Baccalaos, Canada (1593) is an influential late-sixteenth-century map from Cornelis de Jode’s Speculum Orbis Terrarum, offering an early—though not earliest—European depiction of North America. It charts Florida, the Canadian coastlines, and the North Atlantic fishing grounds of “Baccalaos,” blending empirical observations with speculative geography typical of its era. Decorative ships, sea creatures, and bold coastal outlines enrich the engraving, while Indigenous names and territories appear in schematic form. The map captures a transitional moment when cartographers combined exploration reports with inherited Renaissance worldviews.
Cornelis de Jode (1568–1600), son of Gerard de Jode, carried forward his family’s cartographic project by refining and expanding their atlas traditions. Although overshadowed commercially by Ortelius, he produced maps admired today for their crisp engraving, comparative accuracy, and intellectual independence. His contributions reflect the Renaissance shift toward more systematic geography while preserving expressive artistic detailing.
