///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The charting and further discovery of the New World was such a big deal, that if one had access to an early version of a map like this, it was guarded with their life to keep it out of the hands of explorers and mapmakers from other countries. It meant all the difference between control of land, resources and prestige for the royalty and nobles that funded the expeditions. It was not until later that the charted information of the Western Hemisphere was shared in published atlases.
Other historical information:
One of the earliest instances of "Gulf of Mexico" on an antique map was printed in 1595. This map edition from 1587 expectedly does not include the name, but on other notes is considered the first printed map to show the Chesapeake Bay.
The original size of the map as published in its atlas is in the range of approximately 17x22 inches. The puzzle is 18x24 inches.

Title: Cellarius, Harmonia Macrocosmica
Artist: Andreas Cellarius
Manufacturer: Galison Books NY, c1993
Other: # 0-53-1, printed in Japan.
Collection: Galison Books Museum Puzzle, in assoc. The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
Piece Count: 500 Pieces
Dimensions: 14.75V x 18.25L
Time: 5H 21M
Item Description:
Full title of the celestial map this came from: Coeli Stellati Christiani Haemisphaerium Prius, c1660. (Northern Hemisphere.)
From the 1708 reprint of the 1661 Cellarius Atlas Harmonia Macrocosmica, depicting the Christianized constellations by Julius Schiller, showing the northern hemisphere with the autumnal equinox point.
Instead of being projected from the pole, the map is centered on the vernal equinox and the ecliptic bisects the map instead of encircling it. The following major constellations are shown as follows:
Gemini = James (Jacobus), son of Zebedee
Cancer = St. John
Leo = St. Thomas
Virgo = St. James (Jacobus) the Less
Libra = St. Phillip
Scorpio = St. Bartholomew
Centauri = Abraham and Isaac
The Argonaut = Noah's Ark
Canis Minor = King David
The Harmonia Macrocosmica of Andreas Cellarius is widely regarded as the most beautiful and finely executed celestial atlas ever published. The atlas appeared in two early editions of 1660 and 1661, and was also intended as part of Jansson's Atlas Maior. Schenk & Valk re-issued the atlas in 1708, using the original Cellarius plates, without alteration, except for the addition of their names in the title cartouche.
