EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A Chief Lady of Pomeiock" transports us to a bygone era in North America. The image showcases an American Indian noblewoman standing gracefully on the banks of a serene river, accompanied by a child holding a rattle. The artist, Theodore de Bry, skillfully captures the essence of this indigenous woman's regal presence. Intriguingly, the lithograph also features images of peace pipes or calumets, symbolizing harmony and unity among tribes. These sacred objects hold significant cultural importance within Native American communities. Additionally, we catch glimpses of clay pots and vessels nearby, hinting at the rich artistic traditions prevalent in this region. The lady herself is adorned in a fringed dress that exudes elegance and authenticity. Her attire reflects her tribal heritage while showcasing intricate craftsmanship. Every detail meticulously rendered by de Bry invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity found among Native American cultures. This lithographic print provides us with a glimpse into the lives and customs of the people from Pomeiock (also spelled as Pom e i ock or Pomeioc), an indigenous community located in Virginia during colonial times. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding our shared history as well as an exquisite work of art that celebrates the resilience and gracefulness of Native American women throughout time.
