EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an old Indian man in his winter garment, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans. The image is derived from "A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia" by Thomas Harriot, engraved by Theodore de Bry and published in 1590. The elderly figure stands proudly, adorned in a cloak made from doeskin, symbolizing both protection against the harsh winter elements and his deep connection to nature. Behind him lies an enclosure, perhaps representing his village or community. A sturdy fence surrounds this serene landscape filled with cornfields and towering trees. The subject's weathered face tells stories of wisdom acquired through years of experience. His presence exudes strength and resilience as he embodies the role of an elder within the Pomeiock tribe. This historical artwork provides us with a rare window into Native American life during colonial times. It serves as a reminder to appreciate their profound knowledge of survival in harmony with nature—a wisdom that has been passed down through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us recognize its significance beyond commercial use. Instead, let it serve as a testament to the beauty and diversity found within our world's indigenous cultures.
