EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "An attack by Indians, La Herradura" captures a dramatic scene from the 16th century in South America. Published in 1930 as an engraving by Theodore de Bry, this illustration depicts the intense clash between Spanish conquistadors and indigenous people during Sir Francis Drake's expedition. In this vivid portrayal, we witness the chaos unfolding in the Bay of La Herradura, Chile. The Spanish and their Indian allies launch a fierce assault on Drake's men who are caught off guard on their ships. The artist skillfully portrays the violence and desperation of both sides involved in this historical encounter. This engraving is part of De Bry's larger work called "America" which aimed to document European exploration and colonization efforts in the New World. It offers valuable insights into the interactions between explorers, adventurers, and native populations during this pivotal period. With intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship, De Bry brings to life a significant moment from Elizabethan-era history. This artwork serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that shaped early encounters between Europeans and Native Americans. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when new worlds were being discovered and civilizations clashed amidst uncharted territories.
