About the Item

Title: 1757 Engraving of Florida Natives – Indigenous Clothing & Village Scene Description: This striking 1757 antique copperplate engraving, 'Habits et Maisons des Floridiens', presents a rare depiction of Indigenous life in Florida as seen through European eyes in the 18th century. Originally published in 'Histoire Générale des Voyages', the image illustrates the daily life, clothing, and architecture of the Native Floridians. In the foreground, a man and a woman dressed in traditional garments engage in conversation, with a small child nearby. The clothing appears to be simple tunics, likely made from woven plant fibers or animal hides, reflecting the warm climate of the region. Behind them, the engraving captures a detailed view of Indigenous dwellings with thatched or tiled roofs, raised structures, and an active village atmosphere with people gathered under shaded spaces. The background includes more houses and figures, providing an immersive perspective on early Native American settlements in Florida. The artist employs fine hatching techniques to create depth and texture, particularly in the palm trees, architecture, and sky, giving the engraving a vivid and dynamic quality. As a historical document, this piece is significant for its ethnographic value, illustrating European perceptions of Native American life in the 18th century. It is an excellent addition to collections focusing on early American history, Indigenous cultures, or antique travel illustrations. Condition: Well-preserved with strong plate impressions and fine details. Light toning and minimal edge wear, consistent with age. Matting & Framing Tips: A warm-toned mat, such as cream or light beige, will complement the engraving’s historical feel. A dark wooden or antique gold frame will enhance its vintage character while protecting its delicate details.
