EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Women preparing potion" takes us back to the year 1562 and offers a glimpse into the rituals and traditions of Native American women. The image showcases a group of indigenous women diligently engaged in the preparation of a mysterious concoction. With their skilled hands, they handle manioc roots, an essential ingredient for this ritualistic beverage. The scene is filled with intriguing details that shed light on the cultural practices of these native communities. The women are depicted nude, adorned only by traditional costumes and feathers, emphasizing their connection to nature and spirituality. As they go about their task, there is an air of solemnity mixed with anticipation. Intriguingly, nearby stands a male figure engaged in dancing - perhaps partaking in another aspect of this ceremonial event. This engraving provides us with valuable insights into the exploration and discovery of the New World during this era. The artist Theodore de Bry masterfully captures not only the physical actions but also conveys emotions through his intricate lines and vibrant colors. Through this print, we are transported to a time when ancient customs were still deeply rooted within indigenous societies. This historical artwork serves as a reminder that culture is ever-evolving yet remains an integral part of our human experience across centuries.
