Title: Contarini-Rosselli, World Map,1506
Caption: Giovanni Matteo Contarini (died 1507) was a cartographer, and a member of a prominent Venetian family. Contarini compiled a famous world map that was engraved by Francesco Rosselli that is most often given the date 1506. The Contarini-Rosselli map is the oldest surviving printed map depicting any part of the American continent. Francesco Rosselli (1445 - before 1513) was an Italian miniature painter, and important engraver of maps and old master prints. He is described as a cartographer, although his contribution did not include any primary research and was probably limited to engraving, decorating and selling manuscript maps created by others.
