EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Americae Tertia Pars, how I fell into the hands of the enemy (page 346)" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Flemish artist Theodore de Bry in 1562, this colour engraving vividly depicts the encounter between European colonizers and Native American tribes during the early days of exploration. The scene unfolds on a lush island as boats filled with curious explorers make their way towards land. As they disembark, armed with bows and arrows, a group of native men stands ready to defend their territory. The tension is palpable as both sides face each other, representing two worlds colliding for the first time. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of discovery and documentation that characterized this era. The artist's portrayal of nude natives adorned with quivers adds an air of authenticity to this historical narrative. "Americae Tertia Pars" serves as a visual testament to the complexities surrounding colonization and its impact on indigenous populations. It reminds us of the struggles faced by those who fell into enemy hands or became captives during these encounters. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are transported back in time, witnessing a pivotal moment that forever changed our understanding of North America's rich tapestry. Through art like this engraving, we can reflect on our shared history while acknowledging its complexities and striving for a more inclusive future.
