Discovering the Americas Two new continents unveiled by Theodore de Bry 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.
“The celebrity of all previous, if not of all following similar collections, was eclipsed by that of Theodore de Bry and his sons.” Antiquarian and book collector Thomas Dibdin, 1824
