1583 Established Gilbert Humphrey Newfoundland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history - the establishment of Newfoundland by Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1583. The image transports us back to August of that year, when Gilbert claimed the land on behalf of England, marking the beginning of centuries of colonization and development in this rugged and beautiful region. Sir Humphrey Gilbert's bold actions are depicted with striking clarity in this photograph, as he raises his flag to stake England's claim on Newfoundland. His determination and vision for the future are palpable, making it easy to imagine the excitement and uncertainty that must have surrounded this historic event. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the courage and ambition that drove explorers like Gilbert to venture into unknown territories in search of new opportunities. The legacy of their efforts lives on today in modern-day Newfoundland, where echoes of these early beginnings can still be felt. Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly preserved this piece of Canadian history for all to admire and reflect upon. Through their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to showcasing important historical events, they allow us to connect with our past in a meaningful way. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come since Sir Humphrey Gilbert first set foot on Newfoundland soil over four centuries ago.
