EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1587, when English colonists made their historic arrival on Roanoke Island. The hand-colored woodcut, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures this significant moment in American history. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to a small village nestled along the southern coast of what is now North Carolina. A vintage sailing ship gracefully approaches the shore, carrying with it a group of brave settlers who have embarked on an extraordinary journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The scene exudes a sense of heritage and tradition as these intrepid individuals step foot onto this new land. Their arrival marks the beginning of a colonial settlement that would later become known as Roanoke Colony - an English outpost in what was then North America. Led by Governor John White, these colonists were part of Sir Walter Raleigh's ambitious plan to establish an English presence in this uncharted territory. Little did they know that their fate would be shrouded in mystery and become one of America's greatest unsolved stories. This remarkable illustration not only showcases our nation's rich history but also serves as a reminder of those early pioneers who ventured into unknown lands with hopes for a better future. It stands as a testament to their courage and resilience while igniting our curiosity about what transpired after their arrival on Roanoke Island over four centuries ago.
