Historical and imaginary map of 16th-century America created by Henry Justice Ford. It is a color lithograph.
The map illustrates a part of "Cipangu" China, while for America there is Florida and some Caribbean islands. On this map, China and America form a single continent. It is therefore an imaginary America, very different from reality, with the borders of the American continent not well defined. The map dates back to the reign of Henry VII.
Henry Justice Ford (London, 1860 – 1941) was an English artist who worked from 1886 until the late 1920s.
