EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the founding of the English colony at Roanoke Island in 1587. The image, an 18th-century English engraving, depicts a significant event in American history during the Elizabethan era. Contrary to popular belief, Sir Walter Raleigh, who played a crucial role in promoting this expedition, is shown absent from the scene as he remained back home in England. The print showcases a sense of adventure and exploration that characterized the Age of Discovery. It transports us back to a time when brave settlers embarked on perilous journeys across vast oceans to establish new colonies in uncharted territories. Roanoke Island represents one such settlement that holds great significance. Lost amidst mystery and intrigue, this photograph invites us to ponder over what happened to these early colonists who ventured into South Eastern America. Their fate remains unknown till this day, adding an element of fascination and curiosity surrounding their story. The intricate details captured by the engraver highlight both the Renaissance period's artistic finesse and the determination of those involved in establishing colonies during this transformative era. This print serves as a reminder of our shared past and encourages us to delve deeper into understanding our roots as we continue exploring new frontiers today.
