EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from Girolamo Benzonis' Historia del Mondo Nuovo transports us back to the vibrant world of Carib Native American fishermen in the 16th century Caribbean. The image captures a snapshot of their daily life, showcasing their mastery of maritime skills and deep connection with the ocean. In this scene, we see a group of Carib fishermen aboard a sturdy raft, skillfully navigating the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Their muscular bodies glisten under the warm sun as they work together harmoniously, using oars and paddles to propel themselves forward. With focused determination, they cast their nets into the depths below, hoping for a bountiful catch that will sustain their community. The woodcut technique adds an element of rustic charm to this depiction, emphasizing both the strength and simplicity inherent in these indigenous people's way of life. While nudity is present among some figures, it serves as an authentic representation rather than one intended for titillation. As viewers gaze upon this historical artwork, they are transported to an era when nature was revered and relied upon for survival. It reminds us of our interconnectedness with our environment and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that thrived long before modernity took hold.
