Waldsemuller’s world map of 1507, the first to include the name ‘America’ the first to show the New World as, in effect a new continent, and the firest to show antipodes. This map was crucial in destroying the two spheres theory and in making Copernicanism possible. At the top are the figures of Ptolemy (with a map of the Old World) and Vespucci (with the map of the New).
