EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Indians Training for War" takes us back in time to witness the preparations of Native American tribes for battle. Engraved by Theodore de Bry in 1591, this colored engraving is based on the original watercolor by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues, recounting his journey to Florida in 1564. In this image, we see a group of indigenous warriors engaged in various exercises and games that sharpen their combat skills. The scene depicts an immersive glimpse into their training regimen as they practice archery with bows and arrows, showcasing their remarkable accuracy and strength. Additionally, some warriors engage in a ball game that tests their agility and coordination. This artwork not only captures the physical aspects of warfare preparation but also highlights the rich cultural traditions of these native communities. It offers a window into their tribal customs and rituals surrounding warfare. As we observe them hurling projectiles or throwing weapons with precision, it becomes evident that these practices were deeply ingrained within their way of life. Through this historical print, we are reminded of the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by Native American tribes throughout history. It serves as a testament to their bravery and adaptability while shedding light on the diverse range of skills required for survival during times of conflict.
