Theodor de Bry

Engraved self-portrait of Theodorus de Bry<ref>Archives of the De Bry family of Belgium who has a direct genealogical connection with Theodorus de Bry, via brotherhood with his father, Thiry de Bry the young.</ref> Theodor de Bry (also Theodorus de Bry; 152827 March 1598) was a Walloon engraver, goldsmith, editor and publisher, famous for his depictions of early European expeditions to the Americas. The Spanish Inquisition forced de Bry, a Protestant, to flee his native, Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands. He moved around Europe, starting from his birth on the city of Liège in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, then to Strasbourg, Antwerp, London and Frankfurt, where he settled.

De Bry created a large number of engraved illustrations for his books. Most of his books were based on first-hand observations by explorers, even if De Bry himself, acting as a recorder of information, never visited the Americas. To modern eyes, many of the illustrations seem formal but detailed. Provided by Wikipedia
