Help needed to identify picture

Hello there
I am doing some research and came across a picture I cannot identify. It is a vintage engraving with lots of symbolism. But I cannot find no title or who the artist might be. Can you help?

A quick reverse image search gives among other results that it represents Amerigo Vespucci mapping the Southern Cross in 1589: _http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast122/lectures/lec07.html
