About the Item
This original copper engraving, extracted from the scarce German edition of Arnoldus Montanus' "Die Unbekante Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes", portrays the rich cultural fabric of the New World.
The detailed illustration captures the vibrancy and dynamism of indigenous peoples' lives, offering a European's early interpretation of the social and ceremonial practices of the American continents. Set against a backdrop of a flourishing landscape, the scene is alive with movement and interaction, suggesting a glimpse into the daily existence of these communities. The full-text page accompanying the engraving provides a historical context, immersing the viewer in the narrative of discovery and encounter that shaped the European understanding of America in the 17th century. This engraving is not just a visual artifact; it is a historical document that speaks to the fascination and intrigue that the New World held for European explorers and scholars.
Hispaniola is an island in the Caribbean that is currently divided between two sovereign nations: the Dominican Republic to the east and Haiti to the west. It is the second-largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba and has a rich history that is integral to the story of the New World. Despite the challenges, Hispaniola has a rich cultural heritage, with influences from indigenous, African, and European traditions. This is reflected in the island's music, cuisine, literature, and religious practices.
