EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving from 1591 depicts a haunting scene of the Tribe of the Timucua Indians, showcasing women sacrificing their babies as part of a religious ceremony. The image is part of a series by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, illustrating the journey of French Huguenot explorers Jean Ribault and Rene Goulaine de Laudonniere in Florida in 1562.
The detailed depiction captures the solemnity and gravity of this ritual, shedding light on the cultural practices and beliefs of indigenous peoples in North America during this period. The engraving is part of a compendium by Belgian editor Theodor de Bry, inspired by Le Moyne de Morgues's original engravings.
Through this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment that may be difficult for modern audiences to comprehend. It serves as a reminder of the complexities and nuances of Native American cultures, challenging us to confront uncomfortable truths about our shared history.
As we reflect on this image, let us remember to approach it with sensitivity and respect for the experiences and perspectives of those who came before us. May it inspire conversations about colonization, religion, sacrifice, and cultural exchange in early America.
