EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 16th century image, we witness the traditional architecture of the Timucua Indian tribe's village in Florida, as depicted in an engraving by Vernier after the original illustrations of Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. Le Moyne, a French artist and explorer, accompanied the French expedition led by Jean Ribaut in 1564, and his detailed drawings provide a valuable record of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The village scene presents a panorama of circular huts, surrounded by a defensive palisade, with a gatehouse and sentry box at the entrance. The palisade, made of wooden stakes driven into the ground, forms a protective barrier against potential attackers. The Timucua people were known for their skill in combat, often using bows and arrows, and the palisades served as an effective means of defense. The village is situated amidst a lush, tropical landscape, with trees providing shade and natural resources. Men and warriors can be seen standing guard, their weapons at the ready, while women and children go about their daily tasks. The ethnic diversity of the Americas is vividly captured in this image, with the Timucua people representing one of the many indigenous tribes that populated the continent. This engraving is from the Spanish edition of Jean B.G. Roux de Rochelle's "Etats-Unis d'Amerique," published in Barcelona in 1850. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of the Timucua people and the challenges they faced in a world that was rapidly changing.
