EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical journey of French Huguenot explorers Jean Ribault and Rene Goulaine de Laudonniere in Florida in 1562. The engraving by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues depicts the moment when the French expedition leaves River May (now known as Saint Johns River) to explore two other rivers, possibly Axona and Iracana. The detailed depiction of this exploration is part of a compendium created by Belgian editor Theodor de Bry in Frankfurt in 1591.
The scene is filled with rich symbolism and historical significance, showcasing the early interactions between European explorers and Native American tribes such as the Timucua. The presence of a humpback whale in the background adds an element of mystery and wonder to this colonialist narrative.
Through intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this engraving brings to life a crucial chapter in the history of North America, highlighting themes of exploration, colonialism, and Protestantism. It serves as a visual record of cultural encounters and geographical discoveries that shaped the New World.
This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into the past, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of early cross-cultural exchanges and their lasting impact on indigenous communities.
