Map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, 1594

Mapa do Golfo do México e Caribe de 1594 - Grands Voyages, Part IVDe Bry's Superb Map of the Southeastern US, Caribbean & Northern South America "Occidentalis Americae Partis, vel, Earum Regionum quas Christophorus Columbus Primu Detexit Tabula Chorographicae Multorum Auctorum Scriptis...", Bry, Theodore de Esta gravura em cobre faz parte de uma notável série de publicações, ilustrando viagens de descoberta e viagens de exploração em várias partes do mundo. O projeto foi iniciado por Theodore de Bry, de Frankfurt, em 1590, e prosseguiu durante mais 54 anos. Ficaram conhecidas coletivamente como as Grands Voyages (para a América e as Índias Ocidentais) e as Petits Voyages (para o Oriente e as Índias Orientais). De Bry morreu depois de concluídas as primeiras seis partes das Grands Voyages. O projeto foi concluído inicialmente pela sua viúva e dois filhos, Johann Theodore de Bry e Johann Israel de Bry, e depois pelo seu genro, Matthaus Merian, em 1644. Este espetacular mapa ilustra a região percorrida por Girolamo Benzoni entre os anos de 1541 e 1556. Centrado nas ilhas do Caribe desproporcionalmente grandes, o mapa também fornece uma delineação inicial da Flórida derivada da de Le Moyne e é um dos primeiros mapas a detalhar o norte da América do Sul. As ilhas das Bahamas são visivelmente demasiado grandes e colocadas consideravelmente a norte da sua verdadeira localização. Várias legendas no mapa assinalam as quatro viagens de Colombo e fazem uma primeira menção à corrente do Golfo. A extraordinária habilidade de gravura e o estilo artístico de De Bry são muito evidentes com a grande e elaborada cartela, o brasão de armas, a rosa dos ventos, os monstros marinhos, o galeão espanhol e a intrincada borda.

Map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, 1594 – Grands Voyages, Part IV De Bry’s superb map of the south-eastern USA, the Caribbean & northern South America ‘Occidentalis Americae Partis, vel, Earum Regionum quas Christophorus Columbus Primu Detexit Tabula Chorographicae Multorum Auctorum Scriptis….’, Bry, Theodore de This engraving is part of a remarkable series of publications illustrating voyages of discovery and exploration in various parts of the world. The project was begun by Theodore de Bry of Frankfurt in 1590 and continued for another 54 years. Together they became known as the Grands Voyages (to America and the West Indies) and the Petits Voyages (to the Orient and the East Indies). De Bry died after completing the first six parts of the Grands Voyages. The project was completed first by his widow and two sons, Johann Theodore de Bry and Johann Israel de Bry, and then by his son-in-law, Matthaus Merian, in 1644. This spectacular map illustrates the region travelled by Girolamo Benzoni between 1541 and 1556. Focusing on the disproportionately large Caribbean islands, the map also provides an early delineation of Florida derived from Le Moyne’s and is one of the first maps to detail northern South America. The islands of the Bahamas are conspicuously oversized and placed well north of their actual location. Several legends on the map mark Columbus’s four voyages and mention the Gulf Stream for the first time. De Bry’s extraordinary engraving skills and artistic style are evident in the large and elaborate cartouche, the coat of arms, the compass rose, the sea monsters, the Spanish galleon and the intricate border.
