EDITORS COMMENTS
This and thought-provoking photo print, titled "Scene of Cannibalism" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Theodore de Bry in 1592, this color engraving is part of the renowned series "Americae Tertia Pars" or "The Third Part of Grands Voyages". The image depicts a chilling scene from Hans Staden's captivity journey to Brazil. Intriguingly, the print showcases a tribal ritual among the Tupinambá Indians, where cannibalism was practiced. The composition focuses on an intense moment around a fire pit as these indigenous people engage in grilling and cooking human meat. It offers us a glimpse into their cultural practices and challenges our understanding of different customs prevalent during that era. The vivid colors used by de Bry add depth and realism to this historical representation. As we observe the Tupinambá tribe members gathered around the grill, we are compelled to reflect upon our own preconceived notions about civilization and morality. This remarkable artwork serves as both an educational tool and a reminder of humanity's diverse past. It encourages us to delve deeper into history while acknowledging that cultural practices can vary significantly across time and place. As we contemplate this powerful image captured centuries ago, let it ignite conversations about cultural relativism, colonial encounters, and the complexities inherent in studying different societies throughout history.
