EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 1500s, capturing a pivotal moment in history at the Roanoke Colony. The hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration depicts an alarming scene that unfolded within this American settlement. A messenger urgently warns of an impending Native American attack, sending shockwaves through the village. The image exudes a vintage charm as it showcases a traditional Southern family residing in their humble cabin. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and colonial past. Settlers and colonists from England had established this historic colony in Virginia during 1587, seeking new beginnings in the New World. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the gravity of the situation unfolding before our eyes. The messenger's urgency is palpable as he delivers his warning to ensure the safety of all settlers amidst growing tensions with Native American tribes. Located on Roanoke Island along North Carolina's Outer Banks, this English colony holds immense historical significance for North America and the United States alike. Although its fate remains shrouded in mystery after its inhabitants mysteriously vanished, this artwork offers us a glimpse into life at Raleigh's Colony during those tumultuous times. Through artful brushstrokes and vivid colors, this print transports us back centuries ago when alarm bells rang out across Roanoke Colony - forever etching itself into our collective memory.
