Description
When the Spanish arrived in Cajamarca, they found only a few inhabitants. The Inca army was camped in the surrounding hills and the residence of the Inca king, Atahualpa, was a few miles away, so de Soto went ahead to meet him and to announce the arrival in the town of Pizarro and his troops. As de Soto approached, he pulled his stallion to a halt in front of Atahualpa and the foam from the horse’s mouth was said to have flown into the face of the Inca king. Many of the nobles, who had never seen a horse before, were horrified and recoiled in terror but their leader remained impassive. De Soto then delivered a speech requesting Atahualpa to come to the town to meet Pizarro but the Inca king did not answer.
Text page with engraving from a German text edition "Das sechste Theil der nieuwen Welt oder Der Historien Hieron. Benzo von Meylandt. . . Being part VI of the Grand Voyages, which is the last part actually issued by de Bry (Parts VII to XII appeared only after his death).
Part VI contains an engraved title page and 28 plates, probably also engraved by his son, Johann Theodore, from that part of Benzoni’s text, which described the conquest of Peru.
More about Theodore De Bry and his "Les Grand Voyages [+]
Theodore De Bry (1528-1598)
Theodore De Bry (1528-1598), was born in Liege in modern-day Belgium. Around 1570, when the Spanish invaded the Low Countries, he fled to the German city of Strasbourg, where he was set up as a goldsmith and engraver. This experience gave him an anti-Spanish outlook. In 1587, De Bry traveled to London to meet with a Frenchman named Jacques le Moyne. When the first accounts of Dutch, Spanish and British explorers to Asia, South, and North America began to be published in the 1580s, De Bry became interested in producing illustrated editions of these early travel reports.Les Grand Voyages" by Theodore De Bry. Theodore began his compilation of early voyages in 1590, and had published six parts at the time of his death in 1598. His widow, two sons, and another family member continued the work, which comprised a total of fifty-four parts when it was completed in 1630. The publication brought to the European public the first realistic visualization of the exotic world opened up across the Atlantic by the explorers, conquerors and settlers” .

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value:
Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability.
Nowadays it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors, and these are therefore more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
- Original colors: the colors were applied around the time the map was issued.
- Original o/l colors: only the borders were colored at the time of publication.
- Colored: the colors were applied recently or at the end of the 20th century ("attractive colors" may also be used).
