EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "CANNIBALS. Cannibals in the New World" takes us back to a significant era in history, specifically the early 16th century. Published in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1521 as part of the book "Of the landes and of ye people founde by the messengers of the king of Portygale" it offers a glimpse into an unfamiliar world. The image showcases a group of indigenous people from South America, known as Brazilians or American Indians. Dressed in traditional attire adorned with feathers and headdresses, they stand around a fire that illuminates their faces. Men and women are present alongside children, emphasizing family life within this tribe. However, what makes this woodcut particularly intriguing is its depiction of cannibalism – an aspect that fascinated European audiences during this period of exploration and discovery. The presence of a beheaded corpse suggests rituals or practices involving human consumption within their culture. While we must approach historical depictions with caution due to potential biases or misinterpretations prevalent at that time, this artwork serves as a valuable record documenting encounters between different civilizations during colonial expansion. As we observe this print from The Granger Collection's archives today, let us reflect on how our understanding and perceptions have evolved over centuries while appreciating its artistic merit and contribution to our knowledge about early interactions between cultures.
