"Their Manner of Fishing" is a renowned engraving by Theodore de Bry, a 16th-century Flemish engraver, and publisher. Created as part of a series to illustrate the early European encounters with the New World, this particular engraving was included in de Bry's "America," a collection of travel narratives by various explorers, which he published in multiple volumes between 1590 and 1634. The series, also known as "Grand Voyages," aimed to depict the life and customs of the indigenous peoples of the Americas as described by the explorers.

The engraving "Their Manner of Fishing" is notable for its detailed representation of the fishing techniques used by Native American tribes, as observed by European explorers. It shows indigenous fishermen using nets and other tools to catch fish, providing a glimpse into their daily life and subsistence practices. The work is a reflection of the European fascination with the New World and its inhabitants, combining both ethnographic interest and artistic expression.

Theodore de Bry's engravings, including "Their Manner of Fishing," are significant for their historical and cultural value. They are among the earliest visual records of the New World and its people, as perceived by Europeans. While de Bry never visited the Americas himself, his works were based on the accounts of explorers and served as a primary source of information for the European public. However, it is important to note that these images were created through a colonial lens, often romanticizing or misrepresenting the indigenous cultures for European audiences.

Today, "Their Manner of Fishing" and other engravings by de Bry are studied for their artistic merit as well as their role in shaping European perceptions of the New World. They are held in various museum collections and are considered important artifacts from the age of exploration.
