It was one of the most detailed maps of the Florida peninsula available before the 16th century. \"...the most remarkable and important map, which has been preserved from the sixteenth century maps, of that part of the East Coast which lies between Cape Hatteras and Cape Florida ... [It is] the first French map to show Florida ... [and is] considered the most important map of Florida.\" (Cumming \u0026amp; De Vorsey 14) \"Despite the fact that this map was not very accurate its influence was considerable... Most of the information on the map is derived from Indian sources and not French ones.\" (Burden) \"It does show Port Royal (Portus Regalis) for the first time on a printed map.\" (Goss)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the work:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis significant, historic engraving is from Theodor de Bry \u0026amp; Jacques Le Moyne's \u003cem\u003eBrevis Narratio eorum quae in florida Americae provi[n]cia Gallis acciderunt ... quae est seconda pars Americae\u003c\/em\u003e. It is the second part or volume of \u003cem\u003eGrands Voyages\u003c\/em\u003e which is considered one of the most remarkable collections of voyages published in the Age of Discovery. The work was published in Frankfurt by Theodor de Bry. The work began publishing in 1590 with this volume printed in 1591.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is from one of the most important volumes published on early North America. It included Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues's illustrations of Native Americans. The work described the earliest French settlements that would become the United States. The illustrations were after watercolors drawn first hand in the New World by Le Moyne on the mid-1560s expedition led by Jean Ribault and René Goulaine de Laudonnière. His illustrations of the Florida Indians are some of the most important visual records of American Indians and their culture before the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheodor de Bry (1528-1598) was a prominent Flemish engraver and publisher. He came from a family of jewelers and engravers, and faced persecution for his Lutheran faith during the Spanish Inquisition. De Bry would be most known for his engravings of the New World from Grands Voyages, a work which would reach 30 volumes in scope. He was inspired to create this work after meeting Richard Hakluyt in 1587, who had published his own collection of voyages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Bry's landmark work depicted the early voyages and settlements in the Americas. His work greatly influenced the European view of the Americas for a long period of time. De Bry's prints provide an important contemporary view of European conquest and settlement in early America. The images depict native customs, culture and warfare, and episodes in the history of European contact with these natives and their world. As Michael Alexander said, De Bry's work \"brought to the European public the first realistic visualization of the exotic world opened up across the Atlantic by the explorers, conquerors and settlers.\" (Discovering the New World, p. 7)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805983014986,"sku":"debry-florida","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/pic-1_0528d058-0e1f-4b89-ba2a-6ed7a6a1d59c.jpg?v=1783958250"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/collections\/haasis-lubrecht.jpg?v=1783957626","url":"https:\/\/trilliumrareprints.com\/collections\/important-maps.oembed","provider":"Trillium Rare Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
