EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Native Americans, 1671: Native People at War, Tribal Dancing," is an illustration extracted from John Ogilby's seminal work, "America: being the latest, and most accurate description of the New World," published in 1671. The print, of unknown origin, offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples during the seventeenth century in the Americas. The scene portrays a group of Native American men, dressed in traditional attire, engaged in a tribal dance. Some wear elaborate headdresses adorned with feathers, while others brandish clubs as a sign of their warrior status. The background suggests the presence of a battle or imminent conflict, with flames and smoke rising in the distance. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the New World. The intricate clothing, the use of natural materials, and the connection to the land and its elements are all evident in this powerful and evocative image. The print is bound in 3 4 leather with brown bookcloth fore edges marbled, and is a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, anthropology, or art. John Ogilby, the work's creator, was an English cosmographer and geographick printer, who dedicated himself to the accurate representation of the New World and its inhabitants. This image, along with others in his publication, offers a unique window into the past and sheds light on the lives of the indigenous peoples of the Americas during a time of exploration, conquest, and cultural exchange.
