Roanoke Landing, 1585 - A Glimpse into the Age of Discovery
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the landing of the English at Roanoke Island in 1585. The image showcases an artistic blend of oil painting and photoetching techniques, skillfully executed by Seth Eastman. Contrary to popular belief, this engraving dispels the notion that Sir Walter Raleigh accompanied the expedition. While he was indeed its promoter, Raleigh remained in England during this pivotal event. Instead, we witness brave explorers venturing onto unfamiliar shores without their esteemed leader. The scene captures a pristine beach along Roanoke Island's southeastern coast. A majestic sailboat gracefully glides towards land as colonists disembark with anticipation and trepidation. Towering trees frame the shoreline while seagulls soar above, adding an air of tranquility amidst uncertainty. Intriguingly, this historic landing would later become shrouded in mystery as it marked the beginning of what is now known as "The Lost Colony". The fate of these settlers remains unknown to this day. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an era defined by maritime expeditions and Elizabethan exploration. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit to expand horizons beyond familiar shores.
