EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Americae Tertia Pars, The little King Pipo Jep Wasu returns home sick" takes us on a journey back to the 16th century, immersing us in the early days of discovering and colonizing the New World. Created by Flemish artist Theodore de Bry in 1562, this color engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment in history. In this scene from page 371 of "Americae Tertia Pars", we witness the return of King Pipo Jep Wasu to his tribal homeland. However, he is depicted as unwell and sickly, surrounded by women who crouch beside him with expressions of despair etched on their faces. This portrayal hints at the sorcerer-like abilities attributed to King Pipo Jep Wasu within his tribe. The composition showcases not only the physical feat of carrying an ill king but also highlights various cultural aspects. A hammock serves as a means for transportation while conveying ritualistic and spiritual undertones. The presence of warriors attired in traditional tribal garb further emphasizes the indigenous nature of North America during that time. This artwork provides valuable insight into how native American Indians were documented during colonization efforts. It serves as a testament to both their resilience and vulnerability amidst significant historical changes. Overall, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our shared human history and encourages appreciation for diverse cultures that existed long before our modern world took shape.
