EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1859-1860 showcases a Native American prince of North Carolina adorned in his striking war dress or ceremonial costume. The image, created by Theodore de Bry after a painting by John White, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and regal traditions of the indigenous peoples of America. The prince stands tall with an air of nobility, wearing a feather headdress that crowns his shaved head. His necklaces and painted deer-skin apron-skirt, embellished with shells, add to the grandeur of his attire. A large cat tail hangs gracefully from his side as he confidently carries a bow, arrow, and quiver. Within an intricately designed frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this depiction captures the essence of Native American royalty during this period. As a weroan or great Lorde of Virginia, this prince represents not only himself but also embodies the power and prestige associated with leadership within his community. The black-and-white engraving adds depth to the historical significance portrayed in this artwork. It serves as both a visual record and tribute to the native culture that thrived long before European settlers arrived on these shores. Through this print's attention to detail and artistic craftsmanship, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and dignity inherent in Native American society during the late 16th century.
