EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Inhabitants of Virginia" takes us back in time to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Native American inhabitants. The coloured engraving, published by Theodore de Bry, beautifully captures the essence of these indigenous people. The image showcases a male Virginian native adorned with traditional tattoos and wearing a loincloth. He stands tall and proud, holding a bow and arrows with his quiver slung across his shoulder. His appearance is strikingly different from what we are accustomed to today, highlighting the rich diversity that existed among tribes during this era. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line etched on the man's body tells a story of heritage and identity. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection these individuals had with their land and culture. Page 7 of Thomas Hariot's report on his journey to Virginia in 1585 comes alive through this print. It transports us into an era where hunting was not just for survival but also deeply ingrained within their way of life. As we admire this historical masterpiece, let us reflect upon the resilience and strength exhibited by these early inhabitants who thrived amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph invites us to appreciate their customs while acknowledging our shared human history.
