Toscanelli's world map. This map was drawn by the Italian mathematician and astronomer Paolo Toscanelli (1397-1482) in 1474. It was used by Christopher Columbus for his first voyage to find a westward route to Asia. The map led him to falsely believe he had found a route to Asia, rather than discovering North America. Engraving by Konrad Kretschmer, Germany, circa 1850.
