EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the sixteenth century, providing a glimpse into the historical encounter between English colonists and Native Americans in America. The engraving, titled "Their Sitting At Meat" is based on an original drawing made by John White in 1585 during his time in Raleigh's Colony. In this scene, we witness a group of English pioneers and Virginian colonists sharing a meal with members of a local tribe. As they sit together around the table, their faces reflect curiosity, intrigue, and perhaps even apprehension about this cultural exchange. The image captures not only the significance of food as a unifying force but also serves as a testament to early attempts at peaceful coexistence between different cultures. It offers valuable insights into the dynamics that shaped America's history during its formative years. Preserved within the pages of The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine from May to October 1883, this engraving stands as an important artifact that sheds light on our nation's past. Through Ken Welsh's expert reproduction technique, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail captured by John White over four centuries ago. Whether you are an avid historian or simply fascinated by American heritage, this illustration transports you back in time to witness one of the earliest encounters between Europeans and Native Americans on American soil.
