EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Collecting Food for the Communal Storehouse" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Engraved by Theodore de Bry and published in Frankfurt in 1591, this coloured engraving showcases the meticulous work of Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. The scene depicts an indigenous North American community engaged in the vital task of gathering food resources. Intriguingly, we witness native individuals skillfully carrying baskets filled with an array of provisions. Their diligent efforts encompass not only reptiles and fish but also bountiful harvests of fruits and vegetables. This visual narrative emphasizes the importance placed upon communal sustenance within their culture. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that these natives possess a profound connection with nature's abundance. Their harmonious relationship with the land is beautifully portrayed through their respectful collection methods. This print serves as a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience exhibited by indigenous communities throughout history. It reminds us of their deep-rooted knowledge regarding sustainable practices long before such concepts became mainstream. Through this image, we are transported to a world where cooperation and unity were paramount for survival. It invites us to reflect on our own modern-day society's approach towards food production and distribution while honoring those who came before us - guardians of wisdom passed down through generations.
