EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NATIVE AMERICANS: CROCODILES, 1591" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable scene of Florida Native Americans engaged in the daring act of hunting crocodiles (alligators). Created as an engraving by Theodor de Bry in 1591, based on a now lost drawing by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues, this artwork offers a glimpse into the lives and customs of indigenous people during the early years of European exploration. The image showcases a group of skilled Native American men fearlessly confronting these formidable creatures. With their spears raised high and determination etched onto their faces, they demonstrate both bravery and resourcefulness as they seek to secure food for their communities. In this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the delicate balance between life and death that shaped survival in the South East region of what is now known as North America. As we admire this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's archives, it serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and ingenuity displayed by Native American cultures. It also prompts us to reflect upon our own connection with nature and how different societies have adapted over centuries to coexist with their environments. This striking engraving transports us back to an era when humans relied on skillful hunting techniques for sustenance while simultaneously fostering respect for the natural world around them.
