EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Frontispiece to Brevis Narratio, an engraved masterpiece by Theodore de Bry. Created in 1591 and published in Frankfurt, this coloured engraving is a true work of art that transports us back in time. The image depicts an architectural facade adorned with intricate details, serving as the backdrop for a group of Native American Timucuan Indians. The chief stands proudly at the forefront, exuding strength and wisdom, while warriors surround him with their fierce presence. Each figure is meticulously crafted, capturing the essence of these indigenous people. One cannot help but be drawn to the central figure fanning himself gracefully with an elegant fan. This small detail adds a touch of delicacy amidst the raw power emanating from this scene. It serves as a reminder that even within warrior cultures, beauty can be found. Le Moyne's skillful rendering after Jacques (de Morgues) brings this historical moment to life. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, he immortalizes these North American natives on page 177 of history. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection held at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France; we are transported into another era - one where native tribes flourished across unexplored lands. This artwork not only captures our imagination but also invites us to appreciate and honor the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous peoples who once called Florida home.
