EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1585, capturing a significant moment in American history - the arrival of English colonists on Roanoke Island. Under the leadership of Richard Grenville, this group of brave settlers embarked on a journey that would shape the future of North America. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully depicts this historic event, showcasing a scene filled with anticipation and hope. As we observe closely, we see families disembarking from their ships, carrying supplies essential for survival in this new land. Among them is an American girl, representing the beginning of a rich heritage that would intertwine with Southern traditions. The image transports us to a bygone era; it exudes an air of nostalgia and authenticity. The colonial attire worn by these settlers reminds us of their resilience and determination as they established one of the first English colonies in Virginia. Roanoke Island's lush landscape serves as a backdrop to this momentous occasion. Nestled within North Carolina's Outer Banks, its natural beauty provides both solace and challenges for these pioneers seeking to build their new home. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, let us reflect on the courage exhibited by those who ventured into uncharted territory during the 16th century. Their arrival marked not only an important chapter in history but also laid down foundations for what would eventually become known as the United States of America.
