Description
Frankfurt: Theodor De Bry, 1591. Engraved map. Uncoloured, as published. Decorative strapwork title cartouche, compass rose, scale cartouche, arms of France and Spain, ships, sea monster, pictorial mountains, forests, rivers, settlements, and place names. One of the most important sixteenth-century maps of Florida and the American Southeast, based on Jacques Le Moyne's account of the French Huguenot expedition to Florida and published by Theodor de Bry in the second part of his Grand Voyages. De Bry's map is the most famous printed cartographic record of the French attempt to establish a colony in Florida during the 1560s. Jacques Le Moyne accompanied René Goulaine de Laudonnière's expedition in 1564 as artist and cartographer, recording the region around Fort Caroline and the lower St. Johns River. After the destruction of the French colony by Spanish forces in 1565, Le Moyne escaped and eventually settled in London. Following his death, De Bry acquired Le Moyne's drawings, narrative, and map materials, publishing them in 1591 in Brevis narratio eorum quae in Florida Americae provincia Gallis acciderunt, the second part of De Bry's great illustrated collection of voyages to the Americas. The map extends from the northern coast of Cuba and the Bahamas to the coast of present-day Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, reaching north toward Cape Lookout. It preserves French and Spanish place names, Indigenous towns and territories, rivers, coastal sounds, and interior lakes, combining Le Moyne's firsthand observations with European geographical convention and inherited speculation. Fort Caroline appears on the River May, now generally identified with the St. Johns River, while the interior is filled with the names of Indigenous settlements, among them many associated with the Timucua world encountered by the French. The cartography is both rich and problematic. Florida is shown in a distinctive, compressed form, while the interior lakes and mountain chains reflect a mixture of report, conjecture, and European expectations about the geography of the Southeast. Yet the map remains fundamental because it is rooted in one of the earliest French eyewitness accounts of the region. John Matthews Baxter in his 1941 'Annotated Checklist of Florida Maps' called it "the most remarkable and important map" preserved from the sixteenth century for the East Coast between Cape Hatteras and Cape Florida, and later bibliographers have continued to treat it as a foundational map of Florida and the Southeast. The engraved composition is among De Bry's most elegant. The title cartouche is balanced by a compass rose and scale cartouche, with the arms of Spain and France placed in the upper corners, signalling the imperial rivalry that shaped the region. Ships, a sea monster, pictorial forests, mountains, and carefully patterned waters give the map a visual richness characteristic of De Bry's finest work. Its combination of firsthand colonial experience, Indigenous place names, European imperial geography, and Renaissance engraving makes it one of the essential printed maps of early southeastern North America.
