"America Sive Novus Orbis Respectu Europaeorum Inferior Globi Terrestris Pars" is a Latin title that translates to "America, or the New World, with respect to Europeans, the lower part of the terrestrial globe". It is the title of a map of the Americas created by the Flemish engraver and publisher Theodor De Bry in 1596.

The map is highly detailed and features numerous illustrations of indigenous peoples, flora, and fauna, as well as depictions of European settlements and cities. The map reflects the European perspective of the Americas as a vast and largely unexplored land of opportunity, and it played a significant role in shaping European perceptions of the New World.

Theodor De Bry (1528-1598) was a Flemish engraver, publisher, and art dealer known for his illustrated books, particularly those depicting the voyages and discoveries of European explorers in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. De Bry worked in Frankfurt, Germany, and he produced numerous works based on the accounts of explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, and Sir Francis Drake.

His engravings were highly detailed and often included fanciful depictions of the peoples and places encountered by European explorers. De Bry's books were influential in shaping European perceptions of non-European cultures and played a role in the development of European colonialism.
