EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Admiranta Narratio. . . Noble Woman of Secota, Virginia" takes us back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the early days of colonisation in North America. The image, a colour engraving by Flemish artist Theodore de Bry, showcases a young Native American woman from the town of Secota in Virginia. The noblewoman is depicted semi-nude, adorned with intricate tattoos that symbolize her cultural heritage. She stands gracefully on a riverbank, surrounded by the lush landscape of this new world. In the distance, fishing boats dot the serene river as they engage in their daily activities. This artwork not only captures the beauty and dignity of this native woman but also serves as an important historical document. It represents one of many visual narratives created during this period to document and explore newly discovered lands. Through "Admiranta Narratio" we are transported to an era when European explorers were fascinated by these uncharted territories and sought to understand their inhabitants. This print provides valuable insight into both Native American culture and early colonial encounters. Preserved at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France, this engraving continues to inspire curiosity about our shared history and reminds us of the complexities surrounding colonization. It invites viewers to reflect on how different cultures have interacted throughout time while appreciating the artistic mastery behind its creation.
