    Abstract:
    This article analyzes a pair of bas-relief enseignes ("house signs") from the facade of a half-timber house on the Rue Malpalu in Rouen. These large oak panels were produced around 1550 for a wealth ship owner, and show the indigenous inhabitants of the coastal forests of Brazil in the act of harvesting, preparing, and lading brazilwood onto European ships. The panels -- given their unusually large scale and superb artistic quality, their narrative format, and their thematic relationship to their owner's livelihood, to Rouen's economic and cultural lifeblood, and to the emerging geopolitics of France -- provide unique evidence concerning the inscription of early New World colonialism on the fabric of daily life and the physical environment of Rouen.
