EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map from 1590, engraved by Theodore de Bry after a watercolor painting by the English colonist John White. The map depicts the Virginia coast and its small islands, with Roanoke situated at the mouth of a river. It also highlights the native lands of Secotan and Weapemeoc. The intricate details of this artwork transport us back to a time when exploration and colonization were shaping the world as we know it today. Governor John White's artistic talent is evident in his original watercolor, which captures both the beauty and geographical accuracy of this region. Theodore de Bry's engraving skillfully brings White's vision to life, enhancing every line and contour with meticulous precision. This collaboration between an English colonist and a German engraver exemplifies how art can bridge cultures and preserve history for generations to come. As we study this map, we are reminded of the complex interactions between European settlers and Native American tribes during this period. The inclusion of Secotan and Weapemeoc native lands serves as a reminder that these indigenous communities played an integral role in shaping early American history. Overall, this print offers not only an aesthetically pleasing depiction but also invites us to delve into centuries-old narratives that continue to shape our understanding of colonial America.
