EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Admiranda Narratio" and created between 1585 and 1589, offers a glimpse into the Pre-Columbian era of North America as depicted through the eyes of European explorers. The image portrays the fortified city of Pomeiock, believed to be located in present-day Virginia or North Carolina. The Flemish artists' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate architecture of the buildings, with their angular lines, tall towers, and ornate decorations. The scene is populated with men, both Western and indigenous, engaged in various activities. Some are shown hunting or fishing, while others appear to be engaged in a lively dance or a game. The presence of water adds a sense of tranquility and abundance to the image. This engraving, which is part of the collection of the Bibliothèque du service historique de la Marine in Paris, France, offers a fascinating window into the early modern world and the complex interactions between European explorers and the indigenous peoples of North America.
