Provenance : Wiley R. Reynolds (letter from Argosy Book Store, 1940, mounted on pastedown). LE MOYNE'S DEPICTIONS OF THE FLORIDA TRIBES ARE AMONG THE BEST EARLY IMAGES OF AMERICA FIRST EDITION OF THE SECOND PART OF THEODOR DE BRY'S "GREAT VOYAGES." All but plates 26 and 38 in Sabin's first states (those mixed state). Jacques Le Moyne traveled with the second expedition sent out by Admiral Gaspard de Coligny to explore Florida. Le Moyne was tasked with recording and mapping as much as possible. They settled on the River May and built Carolina on the south bank. "Laudonnière proved to be a poor leader and was soon replaced by... Ribaut who, released from prison, had been sent by Coligny to take control. Shortly after the Spanish, having heard of the French presence arrived to destroy the settlement and kill all the 'heretics'. Among the few survivors were Laudonnière and le Moyne" (Burden). The influence of the map was considerable: Hondius used it for his maps of the area in 1606, "the atlas in which it occurred was Mercator's and his fame was enough to prolong its authority until the Blaeu VIRGINIAE partis australis , c. 1638" (Burden). Unlike the first part of de Bry this was only published in two languages, Latin and German. There were further editions in Latin ca 1609 and ca 1634, and in German, 1603. Adams B-2986 (incorrect collation); Alden & Landis 591/38; Arents Tobacco 40; Burden 79; Church 145; Sabin Vol. 3, pp.30ff; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, pp.64-7.
