Universe Europe Maritime (1592)

First published by Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer (1533-1606) in 1583. Waghenaer's chart is generally considered to be the earliest obtainable printed sea chart of Europe. The chart covers most Europe, the British Isles, Iberian Peninsula, Iceland, Scandinavia, the western Mediterranean, Italy, and much of North Africa and the Western Atlantic.

The chart is richly embellished with compass roeses, sea monsters, sailing ships, coats of arms and rhumb lines. The map appeared in Waghenaer's Speigel der Zeevaerdt. The first edition can be distinguished from the second edition by the inclusion of the curious circular representation of Iceland, which was revised in the second edition to a more recognizable shape. Waghenaer's Spiegel was the first engraved sea atlas, making this seach chart of Europe and the Western Atlantic the earliest printed sea chart of the region.
