Description
This was a drink, prepared by the old women who gathered together to chew up a certain fruit which they then spat into a communal bowl. Then it was left to ferment for a whole year.
On certain feast-days they would gather and, while drinking to excess, they would listen to a group member, sitting on a pole playing a flute. From de Bry's "Great American Voyages".
Johann Theodor de Bry (1561-1623) was born in Liège in 1561, the eldest son of the engraver and publisher Theodor de Bry. It was from his father that Johann learned his craft, producing both engravings and etchings.
In 1588, the Lutheran De Bry family settled in Frankfurt am Main, a safe haven for Lutherans at this time of religious discord. Together with his father and brother (Johann Israël de Bry), Johann published two popular emblem books.
He also produced engravings from celebrated contemporary painters. De Bry died in Frankfurt in 1623.

Johann Ludwig Gottfried
Johann Ludwig Gottfried studied theology in Heidelberg. As of 1603, he was active as a deacon and, afterward, as a reformed priest in villages in the Electoral Palatinate's left side of the Rhine. Between 1625 and 1633 he was active in Offenbach. Owed to his talent for languages and his education in general, he became a highly esteemed assistant of Frankfurt publishers like Johann Theodor de Bry, de Bry's nephew Lucas Jennis and de Bry's son-in-law Matthäus Merian the Elder as of 1619. He made translations, epigrams, paraphrases and compilations for many distinguished publications.FAQ - Guarantee - Shipping

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).
