EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sacrifice that the Floridians make to the Sun of their first born" takes us back in time to a significant religious practice from pre-colonial Florida. Created by Bernard Picart and published in 1789, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of ancient rituals and beliefs. The image portrays an intense scene where native Floridians engage in a solemn ceremony dedicated to the sun. The central focus is on a sacrificial act involving their first-born child, symbolizing the profound devotion these people had towards their faith. As we observe this ritualistic dance, we are reminded of both the power and complexity of human spirituality. Picart's illustration draws attention not only to the religious aspects but also highlights cultural diversity within America before European colonization. It sheds light on indigenous customs that were often misunderstood or labeled as barbaric by outsiders. This artwork serves as a historical document, borrowed from Theodore de Bry's engravings published in 1590. Its inclusion in Picart's survey reflects an attempt to capture various religious practices around the world during that era. As we delve into this thought-provoking piece, let us ponder upon how different societies express their devotion and explore our own understanding of sacrifice and belief systems across time and cultures.
