EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DE BRY: POWHATAN WOMAN" takes us back to the late 16th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Native American women in the New World. The line engraving by Theodor de Bry after John White showcases a Powhatan woman and girl from the Pomeiooc tribe, part of the Algonquian people. Dressed in traditional clothing adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers, these women exude grace and strength. Their necklaces, made of shells or precious stones, symbolize their cultural heritage and status within their community. The elder woman holds a gourd, possibly used for carrying water or storing food—a testament to her resourcefulness in an environment rich with nature's bounty. The detailed engraving transports us to a time when European explorers like John White first encountered indigenous tribes along the South East coast of what is now known as Virginia. Accompanied by text written by Thomas Harriot, this artwork provides valuable insights into both Native American life and early European encounters with different cultures. As we admire this historical artifact captured by De Bry's skilled hand, let us appreciate the beauty and diversity that existed long before our modern world took shape. It serves as a reminder to honor and respect those who came before us while acknowledging their contributions to shaping our collective history.
