EDITORS COMMENTS
Theodore de Bry's engraving, "Admiranta Narratio. . . Chief Roanoack" captures a significant moment in history during the 16th century. The image showcases an elderly Native American chief named Roanoack, who stands proudly with crossed arms and a stoic expression. Clad in a traditional loincloth adorned with intricate tattoos, he represents the rich tribal culture of North America. In this scene, we witness the arrival of European explorers to the New World as they discover and document their encounters. The landscape depicts a serene river surrounded by lush greenery, providing a glimpse into the untouched beauty of this unexplored land. The Flemish artist skillfully portrays Chief Roanoack's regal presence and his connection to nature through his semi-nude attire. The inclusion of fishing boats further emphasizes the importance of waterways for sustenance and trade within Native American communities. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of early colonisation efforts. It offers viewers a window into the cultural exchange between indigenous peoples and European settlers during this transformative period. Displayed prominently on page 57, plate 7 of "Admiranta Narratio" this engraving invites us to contemplate the complexities surrounding exploration, discovery, and its impact on native populations.
