De Bry, THEODOR, a goldsmith and copperplate engraver, born at Liège in 1528, who settled in Frankfort-on-Main about 1570, and established a printing-house there. The most important of the works issued from his press is the collection of Voyages to the East and West Indies, published in Latin (25 parts, 1590-1634) and German (27 parts, 1590-1630). He died in 1598, leaving two sons to complete the undertaking.
