Rene de Laudonniere, a French explorer and colonizer, played a significant role in the establishment of French presence in Florida during the 16th century. His expeditions and interactions with Native Americans are depicted in various engravings by artists such as Theodor de Bry and Charles Meryon. In 1562, Jean Ribaud placed the arms of France on an island in the St. Johns River, which was later shown to Captain Laudonniere by Satouriona, a Native American chief. This event is captured beautifully in an engraving by Theodor de Bry. Laudonniere's second expedition to Florida saw the construction of Fort Caroline on another island along the St. Johns River. Engravings from 1591 depict this fort being built under his command, based on drawings by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. However, not all encounters were peaceful. In 1565, Native Americans attacked a group of French soldiers exploring the region under Laudonniere's leadership. This event is also illustrated in an engraving by De Bry. These engravings provide valuable insights into Laudonniere's efforts to establish French colonies and his interactions with Native Americans during this time period.
