The artwork is part of the esteemed collection called "Admirante Narratio Americae" depicting an intriguing scene from South America's history. The image transports us to the heart of Brazil, where we witness a chilling display of anthropophagy, or cannibalism.

The engraving portrays indigenous Brazilians engaging in ritualistic meals that involve consuming human flesh. As we delve into this historical narrative, it becomes evident that de Bry aimed to shed light on the customs and traditions of these native tribes. Through his artistry, he invites us to question our own cultural biases and preconceptions about societies different from our own. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate line and shadow within this powerful artwork. By presenting it in black and white, he accentuates its timeless quality while emphasizing the stark contrast between light and darkness. This print serves as a thought-provoking reminder of humanity's complex past.
