EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the second French expedition to Florida in 1564. Led by Rene de Laudonniere, the French explorers are seen diligently constructing Fort Caroline on an island in the St. Johns River. The engraving, created by Theodor de Bry in 1591 based on a now lost drawing by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues, beautifully depicts this pivotal event. Intriguingly detailed, the image showcases the determination and hard work of these early settlers as they establish their presence in this new land. Men can be seen engaged in various tasks such as building structures and working with canoes, highlighting their resourcefulness and adaptability. Fort Caroline symbolizes not only a physical structure but also represents France's ambition to expand its influence into North America during the Age of Discovery. This strategic settlement would serve as a base for further exploration and colonization efforts throughout southeastern United States. The composition of this engraving is truly remarkable; it transports us back to a time when brave explorers ventured into uncharted territories, driven by curiosity and ambition. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the indomitable spirit that propelled nations towards discovery and expansion. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from centuries ago, we are reminded of how far we have come while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations through their courage and perseverance.
