EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "VIRGINIA PAMPHLET, 1588" takes us back to the Age of Discovery and offers a glimpse into the early days of American colonization. The title-page of Thomas Harriot's Report of the new found land of Virginia, published in London in 1588, serves as an advertisement promoting share buying and settling in Sir Walter Raleigh's ambitious colony on Roanoke Island. This historic document represents a crucial moment in Elizabethan exploration and showcases the power of propaganda during that era. The intricate typeface used on the title-page adds an air of sophistication to this piece, highlighting its significance as a Renaissance artifact. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of John White's famous illustrations depicting indigenous people and their way of life. This pamphlet aimed to entice potential colonists with promises of wealth and adventure in this uncharted territory known as the New World. However, it is impossible not to mention the mystery surrounding Roanoke Island – often referred to as "The Lost Colony". Despite initial excitement and investment, these early settlers vanished without a trace. Their fate remains one of history's enduring enigmas. Through Granger Art on Demand's exceptional reproduction quality, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from NYC / The Granger Collection. It allows us to reflect upon our past while contemplating how far we have come since those pioneering days when dreams were forged amidst uncertainty and discovery shaped our world.
