EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Brazil in 1558, capturing a scene of Brazilian natives returning from a fishing expedition. The engraving, taken from the book Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique, autrement nomme Amerique by Andre Thevet and printed in Paris during the same year, provides a rare glimpse into the lives and customs of indigenous people during this period. In the image, we see men, women, and children gathered around a fire near the shore. Their nude bodies are adorned with intricate markings that reflect their cultural heritage. As they return from their successful fishing trip, baskets filled with an abundance of fish are carried on their heads or held in hand-woven nets. The sense of community is palpable as everyone contributes to this essential task for sustenance. The women breastfeed their infants while engaging in conversation with one another. Children play nearby, eager to learn and participate in daily life activities. This engraving not only showcases the rich marine resources available to these Brazilian natives but also highlights their harmonious relationship with nature and each other. It serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures that existed long before European colonization began shaping what we now know as Brazil. Through this historical snapshot frozen in time on paper, we gain insight into an era when indigenous communities thrived independently within the vastness of South America's lush landscapes.
