"Map of Peru" is a notable historical cartographic work by the French cartographer Guillaume Le Testu, created in the 16th century during the Age of Discovery. Guillaume Le Testu, active during the 1550s, was known for his detailed and decorative maps, and his contributions to the understanding of the New World geography. His "Map of Peru" is particularly significant as it represents the European perception and knowledge of the South American region during a time when the Spanish Empire was actively exploring and colonizing the Americas.

The map likely illustrates the coastal regions of Peru, reflecting the extent of exploration and Spanish conquests up to that time. It would have been based on the reports of explorers and conquistadors, such as Francisco Pizarro, who led the Spanish expedition that resulted in the fall of the Inca Empire. The map may feature a combination of geographical accuracy and imaginative elements, as was common in early cartography, where mythical creatures and speculative geography often filled the gaps in European knowledge.

Le Testu's work is important for its artistic merit as well as its historical value. Maps from this period often included elaborate illustrations, and "Map of Peru" would be no exception, potentially featuring sea monsters, ships, and ornate compass roses, which were typical of Le Testu's style. The map serves as a document of the European encounter with the New World, reflecting the blend of empirical observation and myth that characterized 16th-century cartography.

As a historical artifact, "Map of Peru" by Guillaume Le Testu provides insight into the early period of European exploration in South America, the spread of imperial Spanish influence, and the evolution of cartographic techniques. It remains an important piece for historians, geographers, and art historians, offering a window into the world as it was seen by Europeans during a pivotal era of global expansion and cultural exchange.
