"Map of the Americas" by Henricus Hondius is a notable historical cartographic work created by the Dutch-Flemish engraver and cartographer Henricus Hondius (1597–1651). Published in 1631, this map is an important artifact from the Golden Age of Dutch cartography, a period when the Dutch dominated world mapmaking. Hondius's map, titled "Americae Descriptio Nova Impensis", is renowned for its detailed depiction of the American continents and the surrounding oceans, reflecting the geographical knowledge and exploratory information available during the early 17th century.

The map is characterized by its elaborate decorative elements, including ornate border designs, vivid illustrations of indigenous peoples, exotic wildlife, and sea creatures, as well as sailing ships, all of which were typical of the era's map aesthetics. Hondius's work also incorporates significant updates from earlier maps, such as the inclusion of newly explored regions, corrections to previous cartographic inaccuracies, and the representation of colonial territories.

As a piece of cartographic history, "Map of the Americas" by Henricus Hondius not only serves as a visual record of the geographical understanding of the time but also provides insight into the European perspective on the New World during a period of intense exploration and colonization. The map remains an object of study for historians, geographers, and collectors, and is a testament to the craftsmanship and influence of the Hondius family in the development of early modern cartography.
