EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River" a remarkable feat accomplished by the second French expedition to Florida in 1564. Created as a line engraving in 1591, this masterpiece was skillfully crafted by Theodor de Bry, based on a now lost drawing by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. The image transports us back to the Age of Discovery, offering an aerial view of this historic settlement nestled along the picturesque St. Johns River. Fort Caroline stands proudly amidst lush greenery, its walls and buildings meticulously depicted with precision and detail. As we gaze upon this visual representation, we are reminded of the audacity and ambition that characterized European exploration during this era. This French colony served as a testament to their determination to establish footholds in uncharted territories across the New World. The significance of Fort Caroline extends beyond its architectural prowess; it symbolizes France's aspirations for dominance in Southeastern America during that time period. Its strategic location near present-day Jacksonville further emphasizes its importance as a stronghold for trade and defense. Though centuries have passed since its construction, this exquisite engraving allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in capturing such historical moments and the enduring legacy left behind by those who dared venture into unknown lands.
