EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the book "Small Voyages, in German, Part I: Pigafettas Congo" by Johann Theodor de Bry and Johann Israel de Bry. Created in the 16th century by Flemish School artists, this half-page colored engraving and letterpress printing transports us back to a time of exploration and discovery. The image depicts a small group of indigenous people walking through the outskirts of Congo. With bare feet firmly planted on the ground, they carry themselves with purpose and determination. Armed with bows and arrows, they exude strength and resilience in their daily lives. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the intricate lettering that accompanies the illustration to the vibrant colors used to bring it to life, each element adds depth and richness to the scene. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of both our shared humanity across cultures and our ever-evolving understanding of different parts of the world during this era. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration that has shaped our collective history. This print captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also invites us into a world filled with adventure, cultural exchange, and untold stories waiting to be discovered within its pages.
