Two Renaissance world maps are focus of new Library of Congress publication

The Library of Congress, in association with Levenger Press, is publishing a new scholarly book on two 16th-century maps that fundamentally changed the way the world was viewed. Scheduled for publication in October, "Seeing the World Anew: The Radical Vision of Martin Waldseemüller's 1507 & 1516 World Maps" spotlights two of the Library's cartographic treasures housed in the Geography and Map Division and reproduces them in the largest full-color formats ever authorized
