Chart of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, 1542. The map is orientated 'upside down' to our modern eyes: parts of the north coast of South America - eg 'Perou' - appear at the top, and parts of the south coast of North America - eg 'The lande of Florida' - appear at the bottom. 'The Couba' (Cuba), is at far left. Native Americans are depicted engaged in hunting with bow and arrow. From "Portolano" or 'Boke of Idrography' by John Rotz (The 'Rotz Atlas'), dedicated to King Henry VIII.
