Their Manner of Prainge with Rattels Abowt te Fyer, Theodor de Bry
1/2
Beschreibung
This evocative engraving by Theodor de Bry, Their Manner of Prainge with Rattels Abowt te Fyer, captures a ceremonial scene of Native Americans performing a ritual around a fire. The composition is set against a rich landscape featuring shallow waters, fish-weirs, and canoes, with tree-lined slopes and a rocky ridge in the foreground.
The scene diverges slightly from its original depiction by reversing the image and introducing new elements. Two standing figures—a man and a woman—appear to the left of the circle, while the fire is emphasized with heightened smoke and flames, obscuring a figure present in the original drawing. Notable details include the least-clothed figures now adorned with single-apron skirts, adding modesty to the visual narrative.
This plate offers a fascinating insight into European interpretations of indigenous customs during the Age of Discovery.
