EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigma surrounding "The lost colony of Roanoke" in vivid color lithography. The image portrays a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the 16th century when new settlers arrived at Roanoke only to find it deserted. As we gaze upon this historical scene, our eyes are drawn to the stockade where the word "Croaton" is hauntingly carved, revealing the name of an Indian tribe. The visual narrative evokes a sense of confusion and mystery that has puzzled historians for centuries. The abandoned settlement stands as a testament to the complexities and challenges faced during colonialization in America. It serves as a reminder of both threat and opportunity that immigration brought forth during this era. Intriguingly, amidst the desolation, male soldiers can be seen standing guard with determination etched on their faces. Their presence hints at the constant struggle for survival and protection against unknown forces lurking beyond these walls. This illustration from Peter Newark American Pictures offers us a glimpse into one of history's most enduring mysteries—the fate of those who once called Roanoke home. With its rich detail and expert craftsmanship, this artwork invites contemplation about what might have transpired within these forgotten shores during that fateful period in North Carolina's past.
