Theodor de Bry (1528-1598) was an engraver, goldsmith, editor and publisher. Forced to flee his native Liege in the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands by the Spanish Inquisition de Bry moved around Europe, finally settling in Frankfurt. Inspired in part by Richard Hakluyt, whom he met in England in 1587, he began the publication of a collection of voyages, of which this forms a part. His work was continued after his death by his sons Johann Theodor and Johann Israel, who completed Parts VII and VIII of the Grands Voyages and the Petits Voyages, so called because of the difference in size of the paper used! The works were immediately popular and provided the standard European image of the Americas and the East Indies.

This Part contains: I. An extract giving an account of the discovery of Hudson's Bay; II. A short account of the two voyages made to the north by Linschoten; III. An account of De Quiros voyage and discovery of the new continent, Terra australis incognita; IV and V. Extracts relative to the Samoiedes and other people of the North and a description of Siberia by Isaac Massa.

First edition. Text in Latin. Folio (31.5 x 20 cm), 32pp. (including pictorial engraved title page), + Icones, seu Tabulae Chorographicae with separate title page decorated with printers flowers, 3 leaves of illustrations, the first 2 with text to recto, image to verso, the third with text beneath image (verso blank), and 3 double-page engraved maps, full green morocco gilt by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, a fine copy.
