EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Sieur de La Salle's landing on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in 1685. The line engraving, created by Louis Hennepin in 1698, showcases the French explorer Robert Cavelier as he embarked on his expedition to America. In this image, we see a grand sailing ship anchored off the gulf coast, with La Salle and his men disembarking onto American soil. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as they encounter American Indians who inhabit this new land. La Salle's voyage was a significant colonial exploration that aimed to expand France's influence in America. His determination and bravery led him to navigate uncharted territories, paving the way for future explorers and settlers. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight both the maritime beauty of La Salle's sailing ship and the ruggedness of the coastal landscape. It serves as a visual testament to an era when exploration was driven by curiosity, ambition, and a thirst for discovery.
