EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the late 16th century showcases a fascinating map of Virginia, illustrating the arrival of Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition in 1585. The vibrant yellow hues bring to life the coastal region and highlight the significant landmarks along its shoreline. Created by John White, a renowned English explorer and artist, this print captures the spirit of discovery that characterized European expeditions during this era. The intricate details on this double-page map provide an insight into the navigational equipment used by explorers at that time. The compass rose prominently displayed indicates their reliance on accurate direction for successful voyages. As we delve into this historical piece, we are transported back to a time when North America was still being explored and occupied by European powers. The absence of people in this image allows us to focus solely on the natural space and geographic features depicted. It serves as a reminder of how untouched these lands were before colonization began. This particular print holds great significance as it represents one of Sir Walter Raleigh's most famous journeys, contributing to our understanding of early American history. As we examine every leaf and coastline meticulously engraved onto this page, we gain insights into both the exploration itself and the artistic techniques employed during that period. This hand-coloured engraving is not only a testament to John White's skill but also an important artifact documenting an essential chapter in world history.
