Peirce, Jr.; Foreword by Patrick O'Brian; Introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg. quarto, cloth in dust jacket. xxiv), 272pp. W.W. Norton & Co., Late in the 16th century, Spaniards had already begun to exert influence over the indigenous people of the Caribbean when explorers from England and France arived, among them Sir Francis Drake. "The Drake Manuscript," and titled Histoire Naturelle des Indes when it was bound in the 18th century, gives us a wonderful picture of daily life at the time of Drakes' many visits to the region. The beautiful paintings and descriptions document the plant, animal and human life of the Caribbean. Although Drake' s connection to the manuscript is uncertain, he is mentioned on more than one occasion by the authors. All of the drawings and their captions are presented here in a facsimile edition of the manuscript for the first time. A very fine copy in a very fine dust jacket. First Edition. Preface by Charles E. Peirce, Jr.; Foreword by Patrick O'Brian; Introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg.

Hardbound. Condition: As new in shrinkwrap. . (illustrator). Dark green cloth boards w/ green color illustrated dust jacket, [xxii] 272pp, hundreds of color plates. The lives of the 16th-century Caribbean's indigenous people, as well as its flora and fauna, were captured on paper by French Huguenots who perhaps sailed with Sir Francis Drake. A sumptuous facsimile edition of Histoire Naturelle des indes: The Drake Manuscript in the Pierpont Morgan Library shows us people and objects of the new world as seen, conceived of and described by their "discoverers." Fish with menacing teeth, land and sea birds with multicolored wings and native peoples (at work, at play and even trading with the whites) are all rendered with watercolor-like simplicity and amateurish clarity. Ruth Kraemer translates the descriptions that accompany each scene; Patrick O'Brian provides a short biography of Drake; and Verlyn Klickenborg details the manuscript's own fragmentary history and narrative.

First edition. First edition. Fine in dust jacket. Large quarto, numerous illustrations in color. Preface by Charles E. Pierce, Jr., Foreword by Patrick O'Brian, and Introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg. A stunningly beautiful portrait of the Caribbean world at the time of Sir Francis Drake's travels. Nearly two hundred paintings document plants, animals, fish and birds, as well as daily life and work among the inhabitants, everything from diving for pearls and mining for gold and silver to wedding rituals and preparations for childbirth. This was not the virgin land Drake expected to find. Instead, he found a land already shaped by two sophisticated cultures -- the Spanish and the indigenous Indians. This book is a wonderfully vivid panorama of early European perceptions of the New World. O'Brian's lengthy foreword provides excellent commentary to Sir Francis Drake and his travels.
