EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Indian Village Secota" or "Secoton and her garden," is a stunning representation of Native American life in Virginia during the late 16th century. The image is taken from Folio 93 of "Fida tamen narratio Admiranda," or "Worthy Relation of Commodities and Customs of the Inhabitants of Virginia," a chronicle of the 1585 expedition to Virginia led by Walter Raleigh. The engraving was created by Theodor de Bry, based on watercolors by John White. Theodor de Bry (1528-1598) was a prominent German engraver, publisher, and explorer who played a significant role in the dissemination of information about the New World. His series "Grand Voyages or America" was one of the most influential works on the exploration and colonization of the Americas. This particular engraving depicts a Native American woman, identified as Secota or Secoton, tending to her garden. She is shown wearing traditional clothing, including a deerskin skirt and a headband adorned with feathers. The garden is filled with various crops, including corn, beans, and squash, which were staples of Native American agriculture. The image provides a rare glimpse into the daily life of the indigenous people of Virginia during this period. It also highlights the importance of agriculture and the interconnectedness of the natural world and the people who lived in it. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Native American communities and their significant contributions to the history of the Americas. This engraving is part of the Historical Service of the Army (not the company) collection, housed in Val-de-Marne, Vincennes, France. It is a valuable historical artifact that continues to inspire curiosity and fascination about the early exploration and settlement of the New World.
