Created around 1600, this particular plate depicts a significant moment in the Age of Discovery: the development of the mariner's astrolabe and its use by the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, after whom the Americas are named. The mariner's astrolabe was an important navigational instrument that allowed sailors to determine latitude by measuring the altitude of the sun or a star above the horizon, which was crucial for ocean navigation.

The engraving showcases Vespucci holding the astrolabe, with a depiction of a ship in the background, symbolizing the exploration and sea voyages that led to the discovery of the New World. The work is not only a tribute to Vespucci's contributions to exploration but also an acknowledgment of the technological innovations that facilitated these monumental voyages.

As part of the "Nova Reperta" series, this plate is an example of the synergy between art and science during the Renaissance, reflecting the period's spirit of inquiry and the value placed on knowledge and discovery. The series as a whole is considered an important cultural artifact, documenting the era's groundbreaking inventions and explorations that shaped the modern world.

Jan Collaert's engraving, based on Stradano's design, is a testament to the collaborative nature of art production in the period and the role of visual culture in disseminating knowledge about technological and geographical advancements. The work is held in high regard for its historical significance and artistic merit, offering insight into the Renaissance worldview and the pivotal moments that defined the Age of Discovery.
