EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Admiranta Narratio, The Virginian Ritual Dance of Friendship" takes us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the early days of colonisation in North America. Created by Flemish artist Theodore de Bry, this colour engraving showcases a festive and spiritual scene. In the image, we witness a group of Native American Indians engaging in a tribal dance. Their bodies are adorned with minimal clothing or none at all, symbolizing their connection with nature and freedom. The dancers move gracefully around a tall post that stands as a central element in their ritual ceremony. This artwork serves as an important historical document, documenting the discovery and exploration of the New World. It captures not only the physical aspects but also delves into the cultural practices and traditions of these indigenous people. The engraving's placement on page 85 suggests that it is part of a larger narrative or series depicting various aspects of life during this time period. Its title, "Admiranta Narratio" adds to its significance as it hints at storytelling and emphasizes the importance of friendship within Native American communities. As we observe this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported to an era where new worlds were being discovered and documented. It reminds us to appreciate different cultures while recognizing our shared humanity across time and space.
