EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as "The French Erect a Column with the Royal Coat of Arms" from Brevis Narratio. Engraved by Theodore de Bry and published in Frankfurt in 1591, this coloured engraving showcases the remarkable artistic skills of Jacques Le Moyne (de Morgues). The image depicts an island where a majestic column adorned with the royal coat of arms of France is being erected. Symbolizing the northern boundary to the territory claimed for the King of France in the New World, this monumental structure stands tall amidst lush landscapes. The scene is further enhanced by a sailing ship gracefully anchored near Port Royal, South Carolina. In harmony with nature's beauty, deer roam freely nearby, adding an element of tranquility to this historical tableau. As we gaze upon this artwork housed at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France, we are transported back to an era when exploration and colonization were shaping global dynamics. This print not only showcases Le Moyne's exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to France's ambitions during that time. Through its vibrant colors and intricate details, this image invites us to reflect on our shared human history and marvel at how far we have come since those early days of discovery. It reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to be a powerful medium through which stories are told and preserved for generations to come.
