EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 16th century publication "India Orientalis" by Theodore de Bry offers a glimpse into the lives of the Caffre people, indigenous to Mozambique and Ethiopia. The intricate illustration showcases a mother and child surrounded by men and women of this native African tribe. The Caffres were known for their unique practices, one of which is depicted here - using glowing irons to create stripes and holes in their skin. This striking tradition was an integral part of their culture, serving as a form of self-expression or perhaps even symbolizing tribal affiliations. Jan Huyghen van Linschoten, whose journeys are described in this publication, encountered these fascinating individuals during his travels. His accounts shed light on the rich diversity that existed within Africa during the Age of Exploration. The image captures both curiosity and admiration for these distant lands and its inhabitants. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about different cultures throughout history. As we gaze upon this historical print today, we are reminded not only of our collective past but also how far we have come in understanding and appreciating diverse societies around the world.
