EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the mysterious disappearance of 115 colonists from The Lost Colony of Roanoke on Roanoke Island, North Carolina in 1590. John White's return to the deserted settlement revealed a chilling clue - the word "Croatoan" carved onto a tree. This enigmatic discovery has puzzled historians for centuries, adding to the mystique surrounding one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries.
The image transports us back to the 16th century, where we witness White's shock as he stumbles upon this eerie message left behind by the vanished settlers. The stark contrast between the dark trees and White's figure highlights the sense of isolation and abandonment that permeates this historical site.
As we gaze at this illustration from "The History of Our Country," published in 1899, we are reminded of the enduring fascination with this lost colony and its enigmatic fate. The intricate details captured in this image invite us to ponder what might have happened to these early American pioneers and why they disappeared without a trace.
Through this photo print, we are invited to delve into a world shrouded in mystery and intrigue, where history meets legend in an unforgettable tale of loss and unanswered questions.
