EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fortified Encampment, Puerto Rico" transports viewers back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the early colonization of the Americas. Created by John White in the late 16th century, this print measures approximately 36.3x44.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The image showcases an intricately designed fortification along the coast of Puerto Rico's Guayanilla Bay. The fortified encampment features a water ditch, bastions, and timber structures that serve as shelter for soldiers and settlers alike. In the foreground, we see horsemen patrolling the river bank while land crabs scuttle about. The artist pays attention to detail by including various elements that bring life to this scene: trees dotting the landscape, barrels scattered around campfires where meals are prepared, and even wildlife such as herons and ducks adding movement to this vibrant depiction. This lithograph provides valuable insight into English expeditions during their early attempts at establishing colonies in Central America. It captures both the challenges faced by these pioneers as well as their determination to secure new territories across oceans. As we admire this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days of exploration in the New World.
