EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Americae Tertia Pars, attack of the shipwreck survivors taken by the Indians" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created in 1562 by Theodore de Bry, this colour engraving vividly depicts an intense scene during the early days of colonisation. The image showcases a group of shipwreck survivors desperately trying to defend themselves against a fierce attack by Native American Indians. The warriors are depicted wearing intricate feather headdresses and armed with bows and arrows, showcasing their strength and resilience. The composition is filled with action and tension as the survivors struggle to disembark from their capsized boat while simultaneously fending off their attackers. In the background, we can see a bastion or fortification that serves as both protection for the natives and an obstacle for those seeking refuge on land. This artwork not only documents this specific encounter but also sheds light on the larger narrative of European exploration and discovery in America during the 16th century. It reminds us of the challenges faced by both indigenous peoples and newcomers alike as they navigated unfamiliar territories. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment where cultures collided amidst uncertainty and survival instincts kicked into high gear. It serves as a powerful reminder of our shared human experience across different times and places.
