EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NATIVE AMERICANS: COLLECTING GOLD" takes us back in time to the year 1591, showcasing a significant moment in Florida's history. The copper engraving by Theodor de Bry after Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues depicts Native Americans from the Timucua tribe engaging in the arduous task of collecting gold from rivers. The image transports us to a scene where men are seen panning and digging for gold, their determination evident on their faces. These indigenous people were skilled at navigating the rivers of Florida, utilizing their knowledge to extract precious gold from its depths. This snapshot provides a glimpse into the daily life and resourcefulness of these South East American natives. The intricate details captured by de Bry and Le Moyne de Morgues highlight not only the physical labor involved but also shed light on an important aspect of early American history – the discovery and exploitation of natural resources. It serves as a reminder that long before European settlers arrived, Native Americans had already established complex societies with advanced skills such as mining. As we admire this historical artwork, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its ability to transport us back in time. Through this image, we gain insight into an era when Native American tribes thrived alongside nature while harnessing its riches for survival.
