The engraving “The Town of Pomeiooc” (above) shows, from John White’s perspective, how the Algonquian Indians in present-day Virginia and North Carolina lived before European colonists arrived. From this and the other White watercolors and de Bry engravings, historians can infer details about the possible layout of Native American villages, Native house construction, and daily activities. To see the text that accompanied this engraving, view many other de Bry engravings (and their comparable White watercolors), and read descriptions of the images: http://www.virtualjamestown.org/…

The human Intellect, from its peculiar nature, easily supposes a greater order and equality in things than it actually finds; and, while there are many things in Nature unique, and quite irregular, still it feigns parallels, correspondents, and relations that have no existence. Hence that fiction, 'that among the heavenly bodies all motion takes place by perfect circles'.
