Description
When the New World was really new, Theodore de Bry drew inspiration from history’s great explorers to record its wonders. From Virginia and Florida to Brazil, his engravings captivated the European imagination with freshly discovered landscapes, customs, and peoples from the accounts of adventurers such as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh.
“Europe’s eye-popping first glimpse of the Americas.”
Larry E. Tise became the Wilbur and Orville Wright Distinguished Professor of History at East Carolina University in 2000. He holds a PhD from the University of North Carolina and was a history administrator for many years, as well as a founder and president of the National Council on Public History. His research ranges from early explorers Thomas Harriot and Sir Walter Raleigh to the Wright brothers and the origins of flight. Michiel van Groesen is Professor of Maritime History at Leiden University, the Netherlands. He was previously Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Amsterdam, as well as Queen Wilhelmina Visiting Professor at Columbia University in New York. Van Groesen specializes in European conceptions of the early modern Atlantic world and has been published widely on the subject.
