EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DE BRY: NATIVE AMERICAN COOKING" takes us back in time to the late 16th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Powhatan Native Americans. The image showcases a group of Powhatan men skillfully cooking fish over an open flame, creating a scene that is both mesmerizing and culturally significant. The line engraving by Theodor de Bry after John White, dated 1590, beautifully captures the essence of this moment. It portrays the intricate details of their traditional cooking methods and highlights their profound connection with nature. As they grill the fish on wooden skewers, smoke rises from the fire, blending with the surrounding South East Virginia landscape. Accompanied by text written by Thomas Harriot, this artwork serves as an invaluable historical document depicting early encounters between Europeans and Native Americans in what was then known as New Found Land of Virginia. Through this image, we gain insight into Algonquian tribal traditions and witness how food played a vital role in their culture. Beyond its artistic value, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history and appreciate the rich diversity that once thrived in these lands. It reminds us to honor and respect Indigenous cultures while celebrating their contributions to our collective heritage.
