    Gottfried - Pair of Engravings of Scenes in Florida & Brazil

    Est: $500 - $1,000

    Included in this lot: Florida - Native Americans worship at a column decorated with the French royal coat of arms, garlands, and surrounded by baskets of fruits and vegetables, skins filled with drink, and a bow and quiver of arrows. Includes tattoos, helmets, and spears. / Verso Image: Fort Caroline in Jacksonville, Florida Brazil - How they reached out to the spirits Description of the work: This historic engraving is from Johann Ludwig Gottfried's Newe Welt und Americanische Historien. Inhaltende Warhafftige und vollkommene Beschreibungen Aller West-Indianischen Landschafften, Insulen, Königreichen und Provintzien, Seecusten etc. This is from the second edition of the handsomely illustrated travel work. The work was published in Frankfurt by Matthaeus Merian in 1655. It was an important work documenting the early exploration, conquest, and colonization of the New World which heavily influenced European perception of America. Johann Ludwig Gottfried was a German publisher. He inherited Theodor De Bry's firm, and subsequently issued the work shown here after De Bry's Grands Voyages. De Bry had received the paintings and records from both the French and English expeditions to settle colonies in America in the late 16th century. The illustrators from the expeditions were Jacques Le Moynes de Morgues and John White. De Bry transferred these images to copper plates from which Gottfried constructed the present work. He also included illustrations from other European artists based on textual descriptions (thus the images of mermaids or dragons). Merian also added or re-engraved some of the plates that had become too worn. Gottfried handled the editing and translation. Borba de Moraes noted of the work "It is obvious that the Newe Welt is an important and magnificent work. It is greatly sought after, expensive and rare." Michiel van Groesen noted in America Abridged... it could be "Considered the apotheosis of the collection of voyages to the New World.”

Johann Ludwig Gottfried was a German publisher. He inherited Theodor De Bry's firm, and subsequently issued the work shown here after De Bry's Grands Voyages. De Bry had received the paintings and records from both the French and English expeditions to settle colonies in America in the late 16th century. The illustrators from the expeditions were Jacques Le Moynes de Morgues and John White. De Bry transferred these images to copper plates from which Gottfried constructed the present work. He also included illustrations from other European artists based on textual descriptions (thus the images of mermaids or dragons). Merian also added or re-engraved some of the plates that had become too worn. Gottfried handled the editing and translation. Borba de Moraes noted of the work "It is obvious that the Newe Welt is an important and magnificent work. It is greatly sought after, expensive and rare." Michiel van Groesen noted in America Abridged... it could be "Considered the apotheosis of the collection of voyages to the New World.”

"Als Fürstbischof machte er sich vor allem um das Kirchenwesen hoch verdient. Unter den etwa 20 Kirchen, die er neu errichten ließ, verdienen die Wallfahrtskirche zu Fährbrück und die von Antonio Petrini erbaute Ursulinenkirche zu Kitzingen besonders hervorgehoben zu werden; 1693 erließ er für das Bistum eine neue Kirchenordnung. Durch einen Vertrag mit Kurfürst Philipp Wilhelm von der Pfalz (27.3.1688) konnte er die bischöfliche Jurisdiktion in den pfälzer Teilen der Diözese Würzburg, für die er das Ruralkapitel Mosbach errichtete, wiederherstellen. Eine Reihe von alten weltlichen und geistlichen Jurisdiktionsstreitigkeiten im würzburgisch-sächsischen Grenzgebiet legte er in mehreren Verträgen mit Sachsen-Meiningen, Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach und Sachsen-Hildburghausen bei. Auf seinem privaten Besitz erbaute er das Schloß Kirchlauter" (NDB VII, 553). – Einige Lagen mit Braunfleck im Bug, im unteren Bug stellenweise mit kleineren Wurmspuren, die beiden Blatt mit den Textkupfern mit verblasstem Wasserrand.

The work was published in Frankfurt by Matthaeus Merian in 1655. It was an important work documenting the early exploration, conquest, and colonization of the New World which heavily influenced European perception of America. Johann Ludwig Gottfried was a German publisher. He inherited Theodor De Bry's firm, and subsequently issued the work shown here. De Bry had received the paintings and records from both the French and English expeditions to settle colonies in America in the late 16th century. The illustrators from the expeditions were Jacques Le Moynes de Morgues and John White. De Bry transferred these images to copper plates from which Gottfried constructed the present work. He also included illustrations from other European artists based on textual descriptions (thus the images of mermaids or dragons). Merian also added or re-engraved some of the plates that had become too worn. Gottfried handled the editing and translation. Borba de Moraes noted of the work "It is obvious that the Newe Welt is an important and magnificent work. It is greatly sought after, expensive and rare." Michiel van Groesen noted in America Abridged... it could be "Considered the apotheosis of the collection of voyages to the New World.”

    This enthralling engraving is from Theodor De Bry's significant historical work Grands Voyages. This from the German edition with this particular engraving being published in Frankfurt between 1590 and 1594 for de Bry by J. Feyrabend. Grands Voyages is considered one of the most remarkable collections of voyages published in the Age of Discovery. Theodor de Bry (1528-1598) was a prominent Flemish engraver and publisher. He came from a family of jewelers and engravers, and faced persecution for his Lutheran faith during the Spanish Inquisition. De Bry would be most known for his engravings of the New World from Grands Voyages, a work which would reach 30 volumes in scope. He was inspired to create this work after meeting Richard Hakluyt in 1587, who had published his own collection of voyages. Hakluyt helped de Bry obtain paintings from the New World as well as giving him a copy of Hariot's Virginia. Many of the original paintings of America were done by Jacques Le Moynes de Morgues and John White then transferred to copper plates by de Bry. De Bry's landmark work depicted the early voyages and settlements in the Americas. His work greatly influenced the European view of the Americas for a long period of time. De Bry's prints provide an important contemporary view of European conquest and settlement in early America. The images depict native customs, culture and warfare, and episodes in the history of European contact with these natives and their world. As Michael Alexander said, De Bry's work "brought to the European public the first realistic visualization of the exotic world opened up across the Atlantic by the explorers, conquerors and settlers." (Discovering the New World, p. 7)
