EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to May 4, 1607, when the ambitious project of building Jamestown, Virginia began. Originally known as James Fort, this settlement was the brainchild of the Virginia Company of London. With a Royal Charter granted by King James I, their mission was to establish thriving colonies in North America. Jamestown marked their first endeavor. The image itself is an exquisite reproduction of a 19th-century work by William Sheppard. It beautifully captures the essence of that pivotal moment in history when colonists set foot on American soil and embarked on a journey that would shape the future of this great nation. Intricate details unfold before our eyes as we witness settlers diligently constructing what would become one of America's earliest settlements. The engraving showcases not only the physical labor involved but also provides a glimpse into colonial life during this era. As we delve into this historical archive, it becomes evident that this picture holds immense value for those interested in understanding America's roots and its early struggles for survival and prosperity. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction ensures that we can appreciate every nuance and intricacy captured within this vintage artwork. Its presence serves as a reminder of our rich history and ignites curiosity about how far we have come since those humble beginnings at Jamestown over four centuries ago.
