EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Site for the Fort is Chosen" takes us back in time to witness a significant historical moment. Engraved by Theodore de Bry and published in Frankfurt in 1591, this colored engraving showcases the meticulous work of French settlers constructing fortifications near the St. Johns River. The image captures the essence of determination and hard work as we see workers laboring diligently to build triangular defenses. The chosen site for the fortification is carefully selected, highlighting their strategic planning and attention to detail. As we delve into this scene from North America's past, we are transported to an era where manual labor was essential for survival and defense. The construction process unfolds before our eyes, revealing the dedication and craftsmanship required during those times. Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues' artistic interpretation beautifully portrays both the physicality of building structures and the significance of these efforts within history. This print serves as a testament to human resilience, resourcefulness, and adaptability when faced with new challenges in unfamiliar territories. Preserved by Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of French colonization on American soil. It reminds us that every structure built carries not only bricks but also stories that shape our understanding of cultural heritage today.
