EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print showcases the oldest house in the United States, a historic gem built by the Spaniards in 1564. The image transports us back to a time when European settlers first established their presence on American soil. Located in St. Augustine, Florida, this remarkable structure has withstood wear and tear for over 350 years. The illustration depicts a scene from around 1910, during which time it was featured in an edition of the Harmsworth History of the World. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this ancient dwelling, emphasizing its significance within American history. Throughout its long existence, this house has witnessed numerous events unfold. From being occupied by monks from St. Francis to being vacated and later burned down by Sir Francis Drake's band of adventurers, it has endured both triumphs and tragedies. Constructed using firwood timber, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to resilience and endurance against firewoods that were used for kindling purposes at that time. As we gaze upon this litho print today, we are reminded of how far our nation has come since those early days when America was just beginning to take shape. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and cultural diversity that continues to define us as Americans living in North America or anywhere else across the Western Hemisphere. This print is not only visually stunning but also offers an opportunity for reflection on our shared past and appreciation for those who came before us.
