EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pamlico chief or elder from Roanoke, North Carolina in the late 16th century. The engraving, created by Theodore de Bry after a painting by John White, beautifully captures the essence of this Native American leader. The chief's head is shaved except for a striking crest that adorns his scalp. He wears delicate pearls dangling from his ears and a copper plate on a necklace around his neck. His attire consists of a fringed and painted deer-skin skirt, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of his people. Within an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this woodblock engraving brings to life the intricate details of the chief's traditional costume. The artwork was part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned publication "Costumes anciens et modernes" which aimed to document ancient and modern clothing styles from around the world. This image not only provides us with insight into the fashion choices of indigenous communities during this time period but also serves as a reminder of their resilience and deep-rooted traditions. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate and honor Native American culture while acknowledging their significant contributions to history. As we gaze upon this black-and-white portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the strength and leadership embodied by this Pamlico chief or elder from Roanoke, North Carolina.
