In 1564, René de Laudonnière led the second voyage of the French to Florida, landing in a part of Florida that was densely populated by the Timucua people. The expedition constructed Fort Caroline, a settlement on the St. Johns River in modern Jacksonville, which was occupied by Huguenot explorers for fifteen months. Included in this expedition was Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues (c. 1533-1588), a French artist and mapmaker who documented the settlement and the Timucua. His original watercolors were lost when the French fled from a Spanish attack, but engravings based on his drawings were published in 1591 by the Flemish bookseller and publisher Theodor de Bry. De Bry produced the copper engravings with the help of his two sons, Jan Theodor and Jan Israel. This volume constitutes a major landmark in the literature of the early exploration of the Americas.
