EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of The Lost Colony of Roanoke on Roanoke Island, North Carolina is a haunting reminder of one of America's greatest mysteries. In 1590, John White returned to the deserted colony only to find that all 115 people had vanished without a trace. The only clue left behind was the word "Croatoan" carved onto a tree.
This eerie image captures the sense of abandonment and mystery that still surrounds the disappearance of the Roanoke colonists over four centuries later. The black and white tones add to the atmosphere, emphasizing the historical significance and intrigue of this enigmatic event.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a moment when an entire community simply vanished into thin air. The story of Roanoke continues to captivate us with its unanswered questions and unresolved fate.
Through this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how fragile our existence can be and how easily civilizations can be lost to time. The Lost Colony remains an enduring enigma that challenges us to unravel its secrets and discover what truly happened on that fateful day in 1590.
