When the New World was really new, Theodore de Bry drew inspiration from some of history's greatest explorers to record its wonders. From Virginia and Florida to Brazil, his work captivated the European imagination with visions of freshly discovered landscapes, customs, and peoples. This reproduction brings together his finest engravings of travel accounts from adventurers like Thomas Harriot and Sir Walter Raleigh.
