EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1600s, where surveyors are seen claiming western Virginia for England. In this historic illustration, royal surveyors can be observed meticulously marking trees with arrows as they navigate through the untamed wilderness of what would later become known as West Virginia. The image beautifully captures the essence of American heritage and tradition, showcasing a pivotal moment in colonial history. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported to a time when brave colonists ventured into uncharted territories, determined to establish their claim on North American soil. The Appalachian Mountains serve as an awe-inspiring backdrop for these intrepid explorers. The rugged beauty of the Appalachians symbolizes both the challenges faced by early settlers and their unwavering determination to conquer new frontiers. This vintage artwork not only offers a glimpse into our nation's past but also serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry that is American history. It invites us to reflect upon the struggles and triumphs of those who came before us, shaping our present-day United States. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry, let it remind us that every inch of land has its own story - stories woven together over centuries - creating a diverse and vibrant nation called America.
