Jacques Moyne de Morgues , born with Dieppe towards 1533 and died in London in 1588, was a Cartographe and Illustrateur French.
The historical importance of descriptions of the Amerindian life and the indigenous plants made by Moyne de Morgues when he was member of the second forwarding of Jean Ribault in the Nouveau World is capital. Moyne was with Ribault and Laudonnière when they arrived at the river Saint Johns in 1562 and founded Fort Caroline in 1564.
Moyne de Morgues is especially known for its artistic reproduction of the landscape, the flora, fauna and, particularly, its paramount descriptions of the inhabitants of the Nouveau World produces by the French and the Spaniards. Its drawings of the generally known cultures under the name of Timucua are largely regarded as belonging to the data most accessible about the coastal cultures from south-east of the the United States.
Moyne is pointed out, during the forwarding of Laudonnière, as cartographer and illustrator for his paintings of the prospects and the reliefs of the ground which they meet. When, one year later, the colonists enter in conflict with the Spanish colony of St Augustine, thirty miles in the south. The Spaniards, under the control of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, gives the attack to the colony and massacre the major part of Huguenots. Laudonnière and Moyne succeeds in nevertheless escaping before taking refuge in England.

All the original drawings It Moyne are supposed, except for one only, to be destroyed at the time of the attack of strong the Caroline by the Spaniards. The majority the drawings which are allotted to him would actually emanate from Gravure S with the publisher-bookseller inhabitant of Li2ege Theodore de Bry according to re-creations of memory by Moyne. Distributed in printed volumes, these reproductions count among the first images of European colonization in the New World with being put in circulation. The detailed report of the voyage of Moyne, Brevis narratio eorum quae in Florida Americai provincia Gallis acciderunt , was published in 1591.
