EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Fighting of Hurons, from Voyage de Champlain in 1624" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This engraving by the French School from the 17th century depicts an intense battle scene between the Huron tribe and Samuel de Champlain's soldiers. Samuel de Champlain, a renowned French explorer and founder of Quebec, stands at the forefront of this clash. The image showcases his determination as he leads his troops into combat against the indigenous people of Canada. Armed with bows and arrows, both sides engage fiercely in this forested battleground. The composition transports us to a time when native American tribes fought for their land against European explorers seeking new territories. The intricate details captured within this print highlight not only the bravery but also the vulnerability of these warriors stripped down to their bare bodies. This artwork serves as a reminder of the exploration era that shaped North America's history. It sheds light on cultural clashes, territorial disputes, and colonial expansion during that period. Preserved at Musee des Arts d'Afrique et d'Oceanie in Paris, France, it is an invaluable piece that allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating its artistic significance today.
