 [Jigsaw Puzzle from Educa Borras entitled Orbis Terrarum Nova by Nicholas Visscher]
Orbis Terrarum Nova
by Nicholas Visscher
1000-pc jigsaw puzzle for US$ 25.20

This decorative map from the presses of Nicolao Visscher gives more emphasis than most to the traditional elements of early modern cartography, such as the depictions of Earth, Air, Fire and Water in the four corners, here explicitly labelled. The continents are drawn with reasonable accuracy for the time; the Americas fare no worse than the Old World. Antarctica is wholly absent, but many islands of both Atlantic and Pacific are included. Australia is known as New Holland here.
