EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The First Representation of the People of the New World, (1505), 1912. Artist: Johann Froschauer This intriguing print captures a historical engraving by Johann Froschauer from an edition of Amerigo Vespucci's Mundus Novus, published in Augsburg in 1505. The image aims to depict the indigenous people of the so-called New World and their alleged practice of cannibalism. In this monochrome artwork, we see a diverse group consisting of men, women, and children portrayed without clothing. The artist skillfully conveys their vulnerability and rawness through his detailed engravings. While some figures engage in daily activities such as reading or carrying books, others are shown engaged in what appears to be cannibalistic acts. Published over four centuries later in 1912 as part of A Book of Discovery by T. C. & E. C. Jack Ltd. , this print provides us with a glimpse into how Europeans perceived and depicted Native Americans during the Age of Exploration. It serves as a reminder that early encounters between different cultures were often clouded by misunderstandings and biased interpretations. Despite its controversial subject matter, this artwork remains significant for its historical value and contribution to literature on exploration during the sixteenth century. As we examine this piece today, it prompts us to reflect upon our understanding and representation of indigenous peoples throughout history. "
