Lot 199
Description:
* Theodor de Bry (1528-1598), a group of six engravings after drawings by Jacques Le Moyne from Brevis narratio eorum quae in Florida Americae provincia Gallis..., Frankfurt, 1591, illustrating various ports and chieftains, sheets approx. 7 in. x 8 in., attractively float-mounted and framed.
- Notes: Note: These are the earliest printed images of Florida and its native peoples. Based on Le Moyne's sketches, De Bry's engravings, completed in Frankfurt in 1591, convey a strong sense of the mystery and exoticism that characterized early European notions about the New World and its native "savages." These images are still arresting and strange to the modern viewer, and one can only imagine the impact of these scenes in the 16th century.
