"Cooking Fish, from Admiranda Narratio..., engraved by Theodore de Bry (1528-98) 1585-88 by John White, is a significant work that captures a moment of cultural and historical importance. This engraving is part of a larger series known as 'Admiranda Narratio,' which translates to 'A Wonderful Account,' a collection that documents the early encounters between European explorers and the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The series is notable for its detailed and often romanticized depictions of the New World, providing a European audience with some of the earliest visual representations of Native American life.

The engraving itself is based on the original watercolors by John White, an English artist and cartographer who accompanied several expeditions to North America in the late 16th century. White's works are among the earliest visual records of the indigenous peoples of the eastern coast of North America, particularly those in the area that would become the Virginia Colony. His illustrations were intended to provide an accurate and detailed account of the people, their customs, and their environment.

Theodore de Bry, a Flemish engraver and publisher, took White's watercolors and transformed them into engravings, which were then published in a series of volumes. De Bry's engravings are known for their high level of detail and artistic quality, although they sometimes introduced European biases and misconceptions into the depictions.

'Cooking Fish' specifically illustrates a scene of indigenous people preparing and cooking fish, showcasing their techniques and tools. This image not only serves as a historical document but also provides insight into the daily lives and practices of the Native American communities. The engraving highlights the importance of fishing in their diet and culture, reflecting a harmonious relationship with their natural environment.

Overall, 'Cooking Fish, from Admiranda Narratio...' is a valuable artifact that offers a glimpse into the early interactions between Europeans and Native Americans, as well as the ways in which these encounters were recorded and interpreted for European audiences."
