EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the mysterious settlement at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, circa 1587. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this lost colony. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to a rugged and untamed coast. The settlers' humble dwellings dot the landscape, showcasing their determination to establish a new world amidst uncharted territory. A sense of adventure and exploration permeates the scene as a canoe glides through calm waters nearby. Roanoke Island holds a significant place in history as one of the first English attempts at colonization in America during the Age of Discovery. It represents both triumph and tragedy - triumph for those who dared to venture into unknown lands seeking opportunity and freedom; tragedy for its ultimate fate as a lost colony. The settlers themselves remain enigmatic figures, forever frozen in time within this engraving. We can only imagine their hopes, dreams, and struggles as they sought to build a future on these shores. This print from The Granger Collection serves not only as a visual representation but also as a gateway into an era that shaped our understanding of early American history. It invites us to ponder upon the courage it took for these colonists to embark on such an uncertain journey and reminds us of our own connection with past explorations that have led us here today.
