EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DE BRY: MAKING CANOES" takes us back to the late 16th century, providing a glimpse into the daily life of Carolina Algonquian Native Americans. The image showcases a scene of remarkable craftsmanship and ingenuity as these indigenous people construct dugout canoes. The line engraving by Theodor de Bry after John White, dating back to 1590, captures the essence of this maritime tribe's connection with nature. In an exterior village setting, men are seen carefully shaping and carving out canoes from large tree trunks using fire and other tools. Wisps of smoke rise from the burn marks left behind during this intricate construction process. The composition transports us to a time when South East American Indian tribes thrived in harmony with their surroundings. It offers a window into their resourcefulness and deep understanding of their environment. Thomas Harriot's New Found Land of Virginia serves as the source for this historical depiction, shedding light on early encounters between European explorers and Native American communities in what would later become known as Virginia. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by De Bry, we gain insight into not only the practical skills possessed by these Carolina Algonquians but also their rich cultural heritage that was deeply intertwined with waterways and transportation systems. This artwork is truly an invaluable testament to our shared human history in the New World.
