EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "VIRGINIA NATIVE AMERICANS, 1590. A weroan or great Lorde of Virginia" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Theodor de Bry after John White's original artwork, this print offers a glimpse into the lives of Virginia Native Americans during the late 16th century. The central figure in the image is a weroan or great Lorde of Virginia, adorned with an elaborate head dress and clothing that reflect his status and cultural identity. His strong presence is enhanced by the confident stance and powerful weapon he holds—a bow—an essential tool for survival and protection in their way of life. Surrounded by other men from his community, we witness a snapshot of their daily existence in what was then known as New Found Land of Virginia. Each individual seems to carry their own story within their expressions and attire, providing us with valuable insights into their unique identities. As we delve deeper into this engraving, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a historical document preserving the rich heritage of these South Eastern Native Americans. It invites us to appreciate the diversity and complexity of cultures that existed long before our time. Thanks to Granger Art on Demand's preservation efforts, this remarkable piece allows us to connect with our past while honoring the resilience and contributions made by indigenous communities throughout history.
