EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Woman and child of Roanoke" offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Native Americans in North America during the late 16th century. The image depicts a woman, believed to be the wife of a werowance or chief of Pomeioo, carrying her child on her back. She is adorned in a deer-skin skirt with tattoos or painted marks on her body. The intricate details captured by Theodore de Bry after John White's painting showcase the traditional costume worn by women from the island of Virginia. The woodblock engraving by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot adds depth to this historical piece. Within its decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this print transports us back in time to an era where Native American traditions were deeply rooted in society. It serves as a reminder of their unique cultural heritage that has shaped America's identity. This 19th-century artwork not only captures the essence of Native American attire but also highlights their significant contribution to American history. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded to appreciate and respect the diverse cultures that have played an integral role in shaping our world today.
