Art Print Cantino's Planisphere

The Cantino Planisphere (1502) is one of the most legendary and coveted pieces in world cartography. At a time when sharing maps of Portuguese overseas routes was a crime punishable by death, this document was smuggled out of Lisbon by Alberto Cantino—an Italian spy who bribed a royal cartographer to steal the secret coordinates of Brazil and India. An official and exclusive reproduction from the Navy Museum Collection, perfect for lovers of history and the great adventure of the Age of Discovery.
