This wood engraving, titled "DE SOTO: NATIVE AMERICAN FAMILY, 1539" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a family of Florida Native Americans who were captured by the renowned explorer Hernando de Soto and his party in 1539. The scene is filled with tension and curiosity as we witness the clash between two worlds. The Native American family stands at the center, their expressions reflecting both fear and resilience. Surrounding them are De Soto's men on horseback, representing the overwhelming power of European conquest. The artist Felix O. C. Darley skillfully captures this historical event through intricate details and masterful technique. Every line etched into the wood engraving tells a story of cultural collision and exploration. Through this print, we are reminded of the complex dynamics that shaped early encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples in the New World.
