- Description:
- Jacques Le Moyne's map and forty-two of his illustrations of Timucua Indian life in Florida appeared in De Bry's work. The experiences of le Moyne paralleled and then intersected with that of John White. In 1564 Le Moyne sailed as an artist with the French Huguenot's illfated attempt to plant a colony in Florida. The Spanish attacked Fort Carolina on the River May (the St. John's), and only fifteen people, including Le Moyne, escaped the massacre. He then settled in London and was hired by Sir Walter Raleigh to document his Florida experience. Le Moyne and White became colleagues, and a surviving, unpublished map by White that covers from Cuba to the Chesapeake was certainly based on this work by Le Moyne.
