EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Man And His Wife At Dinner, 1705" takes us back in time to the early colonial period in Virginia. Created by Simon II Gribelin (1661-1733), this print is a reproduction of an illustration from Robert Beverley's book, The History and Present State of Virginia. The scene depicts a Native American man and his wife enjoying a meal outdoors. Dressed in traditional attire, they sit on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, surrounded by the natural beauty of their homeland. Their tribal identity is evident through their clothing, which reflects the customs and traditions of the Pamunkey and Mattaponi tribes. As we observe this intimate moment, we can imagine the flavors that fill the air - perhaps beans simmering over an open fire or freshly caught fish grilling nearby. This glimpse into their cuisine offers insight into their sustenance and way of life. Through this engraving, we are transported to a time when cultures collided as European settlers encountered indigenous peoples. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights both cultural diversity and interconnectedness. This artwork allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance. It invites us to reflect on how different communities coexisted during this transformative period in America's past.
