EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FLORIDA NATIVE AMERICANS, 1591" takes us back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous people of Florida. The image showcases a scene of Native Americans engaging in tilling and planting activities, providing us with a glimpse into their agricultural practices. Created as a line engraving in 1591 by Theodor de Bry after an original drawing by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of these South Eastern tribes' way of life. Despite being lost over time, Le Moyne's depiction has been skillfully brought to life through de Bry's intricate engravings. In this mesmerizing composition, we see men and women diligently working on the fertile soil using hoes for cultivation. Their naked bodies reflect their close connection with nature and highlight their reliance on it for sustenance. With baskets at hand, they sow seeds carefully while nurturing the land that provides them with food. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical value. It offers us a rare opportunity to appreciate and acknowledge the contributions made by Native American communities to agriculture long before European settlers arrived on these shores. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection curated by Bradley Smith, this print serves as a reminder of our shared history and encourages us to celebrate the diverse cultures that have shaped our world today.
