EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a Native American soldier of Peru, hailing from the 16th century. The intricate details of his attire and weaponry provide a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this ancient civilization. Dressed in a vibrant tunic adorned with colorful patterns, this warrior stands tall with pride. His quilted cotton bonnet and vest add an element of protection to his ensemble, while his wooden dagger with a copper tip symbolizes both offense and defense. The soldier's choice of weapons is equally fascinating. Clutched in his hand is a slingshot, ready to launch stones at any potential threat. This simple yet effective tool demonstrates the resourcefulness and ingenuity of indigenous peoples during times of war. Surrounded by an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this engraving captures not only the physical appearance but also the spirit and essence of this brave warrior. It serves as a testament to the resilience and strength exhibited by Native American soldiers throughout history. Created by Christoph Krieger based on Cesare Vecellio's woodcut, this print offers us a window into South America's past - reminding us that behind every historical event lies individuals who fought for their beliefs, their land, and their people.
