Theodoric, Or Dirk Bry, an engraver and print and book publisher, born at Liege in 1528, died at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1598. He appears to have received his first instruction in engraving in his native city, where he also first established himself in business; but about 1570 he changed his residence to Frankfort, and there largely increased his publishing establishment. Assisted by his sons John Theodore and John Israel, both of whom, instructed by their father, had gained reputations nearly equal to his own, he prepared the plates for many of his own publications, as well as for others appearing in different parts of Germany and even in London. Among his best known works are the plates to " The brief, true Report of the New-found Land of Virginia," by Thomas Hariot, "sergeant to Sir Walter Raleigh " (Frankfort, 1596); twelve plates illustrating the procession of knights of the garter; a design for a saucer, representing Pride and Folly; and similar designs for dishes.
