EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut reproduction takes us back to the early days of America, specifically Raleigh's Colony in 1585. The image showcases a Native American man and woman engaged in a mealtime ritual, delicately eating from a woven basket. This vintage illustration by John White offers an invaluable glimpse into the lives of indigenous people during the 16th century. The woman, adorned with traditional attire and jewelry, exudes grace as she savors her food. Her companion, equally immersed in this historic moment, demonstrates his connection to nature through his rugged appearance. Together they represent the rich cultural heritage of Southern Native Americans. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that food played a vital role in their daily lives. The basket overflowing with provisions symbolizes sustenance and community gathering around meals. It is fascinating to witness how these ancestral traditions have shaped our understanding of American history. Located within what is now North Carolina's territory, Raleigh's Colony was part of Virginia Colony at that time. This print transports us to an era when European settlers were establishing colonies on native lands—a significant chapter in North America's complex narrative. Through this art piece, we are reminded not only of the diverse cultures that flourished before colonization but also of their resilience amidst change and adversity. Let us celebrate and honor the legacy left behind by these remarkable individuals who called this land home long before it became known as the United States.
