EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fort Caroline, a historical landmark that holds great significance. The image, taken from Brevis Narratio and engraved by Theodore de Bry in 1591, transports us back to the era of French colonization in North America. The fort's impressive defenses are prominently displayed, with its westward sides protected by a sturdy ditch and ramparts built up with soil. These formidable structures served as barriers against potential threats while providing soldiers quarters and storage space for essential supplies like grain. The colored engraving beautifully captures the essence of this fortified stronghold situated along a picturesque riverbank. Its strategic location not only offered protection but also facilitated trade and communication between the French settlers and indigenous peoples. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, we can't help but marvel at the meticulous attention to detail exhibited by Jacques Le Moyne (de Morgues), who created the original artwork upon which this print is based. His skillful rendering brings every aspect of Fort Caroline to life - from its towering walls to its stockade-like appearance. This print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical preservation. It allows us to appreciate the architectural prowess of our ancestors while reminding us of their struggles and triumphs during an era marked by exploration and conquest.
