Roanoke Island, 1585 - A Glimpse into the Elizabethan Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1585, where English settlers embarked on a historic expedition to Roanoke Island. The image is a detailed section of a map from around 1590, showcasing the momentous landing of these brave colonists. The scene unfolds with an air of excitement and anticipation as we witness their arrival on this uncharted American coast. The ship stands tall in the background, symbolizing both their means of transportation and their connection to maritime exploration during the Renaissance period. The settlers themselves are depicted as determined pioneers, ready to establish a new world settlement in this South Eastern region. Their presence marks an important chapter in the Age of Discovery and highlights England's colonial ambitions during that time. Roanoke Island itself holds great significance in history as it became known as "The Lost Colony". This mysterious disappearance only adds intrigue to this already compelling image. As we gaze upon this engraving from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the courage and spirit of those who ventured into unknown territories for discovery and colonization. It serves as a reminder of our shared human curiosity and resilience throughout history.
