EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Their sitting at meat, 1590" offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of early colonial America. Created by John White and engraved by Theodore de Bry, this print showcases an important moment in history. The scene depicts a community gathering on the east coast, possibly Florida or North Carolina, during the time of the lost colony of Roanoke. The composition is rich with details that transport us back to this pivotal period of colonisation. Intriguingly, both Native Americans and English settlers are present in this image. We see men and women from different cultures coming together to share a meal. The Algonquin people stand alongside their English counterparts as they enjoy a stew prepared over an open fire. The presence of King Wingina (also known as Pemisapan) adds further significance to this artwork. As one of the most influential chiefs in the region, his participation symbolizes diplomacy between these two worlds. Through White's meticulous attention to detail, we witness not only culinary traditions but also glimpses into daily life during this era. This print serves as a testament to Sir Walter Raleigh's grand voyages and his ambitious efforts to establish colonies in the New World. Overall, "Their sitting at meat" captures a unique moment where cultures collide and coexist harmoniously around food—a universal language that transcends boundaries even amidst historical complexities.
