[6],23, 15pp., plus frontispiece and 43 plates. 4to. Calf and printed paper boards. Edges rubbed, internally very clean. Very good. First edition of the narrative of Le Moyne's expedition to America with Laudonniere and Ribault, translated from the Latin by Theodore de Bry, including 43 heliotypes of engravings of Le Moyne's drawings. His work focused on the now extinct Timucua tribe and life in the New World. His drawings are considered some of the most historically significant depictions of early colonial life. With a facsimile of the original titlepage, published in 1591. SERVIES 5853. COX II, p.184.
Zustand: Good Condition. Hand colored engraving, light foxing and soiling, paper thinned in upper margin from prior mounting, damage to the text section with significant loss, repaired with paper. It reads (translation from Discovering the New World, Based on the Works of Theodore de Bry, Harper & Row, 1976): "At a certain time of year the Indians collect all kinds of game, fish and even crocodiles. Baskets are filled with these creatures and put on the shoulders of curly-haired hermaphrodites whom we have already described. All this is taken to storehouses where it is not touched except in cases of extreme need, when, to avoid disputes, the Indians come to an agreement among themselves, which illustrates the harmony that exists among them. However, the king is at liberty to take what he chooses." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking, Wine & Dining; History. Inventory No: CAT000450.
Zustand: Very Good Condition. A single sheet from an early German edition of Le Moyne, likely the first German edition published in 1591, the year after the Latin. Mild foxing and age toning, tear wear removed. "Some considerable distance from the place where we have constructed our fort, rise some high mountains called Apalatcy in the Indian tongue. As can be seen from our map, these mountains give birth to three rivers in whose sand there is much gold, silver and copper. The natives dig trenches near the banks of the rivers so as to catch the sand brought down by the current. The water rapidly fills these up and goes on further. A short time later the Indians remove the sand which has gathered there with hollow reeds and convey it by canoe down the great river which runs into the sea and which we named the river of May. The Spaniards have taken great advantages of the riches coming from these places."
