In 1624 the Dutch West India Company established the colony of Brazil. Only thirty years later, the Dutch Republic handed over the colony to Portugal, never to return to the South Atlantic. Because Dutch Brazil was the first sustained Protestant colony in Iberian America, the events there became major news in early modern Europe and shaped a lively print culture. In Amsterdam's Atlantic, historian Michiel van Groesen shows how the rise and tumultuous fall of Dutch Brazil marked the emergence of a "public Atlantic" centered around Holland's capital city. Amsterdam served as Europe's main hub for news from the Atlantic world, and breaking reports out of Brazil generated great excitement in the city, which reverberated throughout the continent. Initially, the flow of information was successfully managed by the directors of the West India Company. However, when Portuguese sugar planters revolted against the Dutch regime, and tales of corruption among leading administrators in Brazil emerged, they lost their hold on the media landscape, and reports traveled more freely. Fueled by the powerful local print media, popular discussions about Brazil became so bitter that the Amsterdam authorities ultimately withdrew their support for the colony. The self-inflicted demise of Dutch Brazil has been regarded as an anomaly during an otherwise remarkably liberal period in Dutch history, and consequently generations of historians have neglected its significance. Amsterdam's Atlantic puts Dutch Brazil back on the front pages and argues that the way the Amsterdam media constructed Atlantic events was a key element in the transformation of public opinion in Europe. .…

Hardback. Condition: New. When Flemish engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry issued the first volume of his America series in 1590, the New World was truly novel for most Europeans. Gleaned from the travel accounts of adventurers like Thomas Harriot, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, De Bry's magnificent engravings brought the new continent and its inhabitants to an enraptured audience across the Atlantic.From "Virginia" (today's North Carolina) and Florida to Central America and down into Patagonia, the first nine volumes of America depict scenery and encounters between Native Americans and Europeans, revealing the latter's perceptions of the former. Portrayals of European discovery and Native American customs were based on the explorers' reports as well as De Bry's own imagination - he himself never traveled to the New World. Although based in Frankfurt, De Bry laid the foundations of the series while in London, collaborating with artists John White and Jacques Le Moyne, whose original watercolors he adapted for the opening two volumes. With his sons, De Bry formed a family enterprise known for exquisite copper engravings and high-quality illustrations unrivaled in their mastery.The legacy of America is profound, coloring Europe's earliest visions of the Atlantic world. Throughout the following centuries, countless European illustrations would draw inspiration from the spectacular collection. TASCHEN's edition pays homage to De Bry's finesse, reprinting all 218 plates from the first nine volumes alongside their respective frontispieces and continental maps. Volumes I to VI are based on the original hand-colored editions held at the John Hay and John Carter Brown Libraries at Brown University in Providence; volumes VII to IX are from the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek in Augsburg, Germany.Exceptionally rare even at the time of completion, De Bry's hand-colored America can finally be admired by all.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Als der Kupferstecher und Verleger Theodor de Bry 1590 den ersten Band seiner America-Reihe herausgab, war die Neue Welt für die meisten Europäer in der Tat ganz neu und der Hunger nach Bildern entsprechend groß. Die prachtvoll illustrierten Reiseberichtsammlungen, die der in Lüttich geborene und nach Stationen in Straßburg, Antwerpen und London in Frankfurt ansässig gewordene de Bry (1527/28-1598) zusammen mit seinen Söhnen realisierte und überaus erfolgreich vermarktete, boten den zeitgenössischen Lehnstuhlreisenden die damals aktuellsten Bilder und aufsehenerregendsten Berichte von diesem fabelhaften Doppelkontinent kolonialer Möglichkeiten.De Bry und seine Söhne waren selbst nie in der Neuen Welt. Sie stellten aus den Reiseberichten von Kolonisten, Forschungsreisenden und Abenteurern wie Thomas Harriot, Girolamo Benzoni oder Sir Walter Raleigh koloniale Konvolute zusammen, für die sie protoethnografische Darstellungen von tatsächlichen Augenzeugen wie John White, Gründer der 'verschwundenen' Roanoke-Kolonie, oder dem Maler Jacques LeMoyne de Morgues adaptierten oder, wo Bildmaterial fehlte, die eigene Fantasie spielen ließen. So vielfältig die Quellen waren, aus denen die de Brys sich bedienten, so komplex und heterogen war das Bild der Neuen Welt, das die America-Serie zeichnete. Idealisierte edle Wilde, die in einer fruchtbaren, paradiesischen Landschaft die Gaben der Zivilisation - Gott und Glasperlen - dankbar entgegennehmen, stehen neben Szenen furchtbarer Massaker, begangen von nun barbarischen Indigenen, aber auch von den Truppen konkurrierender Kolonialmächte. Die Stiche der de Brys prägten die europäische Wahrnehmung der beiden Amerikas nachhaltig, einige von ihnen, wie die Darstellung von der Landung des Kolumbus oder das den Mythos von Eldorado begründende Bild des Indio Dorado, wurden zu Bildikonen, die sich noch heute in fast jedem Schulbuch oder Lehrbuch zur amerikanischen Geschichte finden.Von 'Virginia' (dem heutigen North Carolina) und Florida, durch Zentralamerika bis hinunter nach Patagonien zeigen die ersten neun Bände von America Landschaften, fremdartiges Kulturinventar und erste Begegnungen zwischen indigener Bevölkerung und Europäern. TASCHENs Ausgabe zeigt alle 218 Bildtafeln dieser neun Bände mitsamt ihren jeweiligen Frontispizen und Karten. Die Bände I bis VI basieren auf den handkolorierten Originaldrucken, die in den John-Hay- und John-Carter-Brown-Bibliotheken an der Brown-Universität in Providence aufbewahrt werden; die Vorlagen für die Bände VII bis IX stammen aus der Staats- und Stadtbibliothek in Augsburg. Die Kupferstiche der de Brys mitsamt ihrer Bildlegenden sind Kunstwerke von außergewöhnlicher Qualität und in ihrer Komplexität auch heute noch spannend zu dechiffrierende Dokumente des frühen Kolonialdiskurses. 480 pp. Englisch.…
