The emphasis in this book is not to report on the change that discovery made but to argue that before it took place, mapmakers, thinking of space in a new way, were practiced in opening their imaginations and their maps to new lands. Until then, there were only the three known continents of the Old World to include, and suddenly it was necessary to map both sides of a round world with vast additional territories. The European discovery of the Americas has been considered a great watershed in the history of maps.
