Summary

Description
English: The Yale world map of "Henricus Martellus Germanus" (Heinrich Hammer), probably from Florence 1490-92. It is the most detailed "Dragon Tail" map by Martellus. It is the only one with a coordinate grid. It was found 1960 in bad condition and is not restored yet. It is now in the Beinecke Library of Yale University. There seems no better image available.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1492, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
