Source: ebay, Mar. 2003
"Theodore De Bry was variously a goldsmith, engraver and publisher in Frankfort on Main in Germany in the late 1500s, early 1600s. His magnum opus is the 'Collection of Voyages' or 'Grands et Petits Voyages'. In all there were 54 parts to these two works, replete with illustrations and maps highly prized by today's collectors. This page comes from 'Petits Voyages' and shows a view of a battle between the Portuguese Armada and Turkish soldiers on horseback in Goa, western India."
