View of Christopher Columbus on board ship with the coast of American in the background. Mermen and mermaids, some holding fragments of human bodies, rest in the water. Title in lower margin. Full title reads,
"Americus vespuccius Florentinus portentosa navigatione ad Occasum atque ad Austrum duas Orbis terrarum partes, nostris oris quas incolimus maiores, et nullis antea nobis notas saeculis, aperuit, quarum alteram de suo nomine AMERICAM mortalium consensus nominavit. An. sal. [infinity symbol]. IIID."
