Repost @librarycongress: We are celebrating America’s 250th birthday this summer, but did you know it has been more than twice that long since the very first document on which the name "America" appears was published? The Library has the only surviving copy of the 1507 Waldseemüller map.

Detail of Waldseemüller’s 1507 world map shows label "America" on a landmass. It is placed roughly were Argentina is located on modern maps. Other details on the map include an illustration of a ship, a bird and other place names along the coast of the pictured landmass.
