EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the geometres of the English monarchy were marking tree trunks in West Virginia to claim land ownership during the 17th century. The intricate details of this colour engraving from the 19th century transport us back to a time when European powers were expanding their territories into the New World.
The image showcases the meticulous process of surveying and mapping out land, as well as the complex relationships between settlers and indigenous peoples. It serves as a reminder of the colonial legacy that shaped much of North America's landscape.
The presence of horses and figures working amidst towering trees evokes a sense of exploration and conquest, highlighting the impact of European colonization on native lands. The blend of historical accuracy and artistic interpretation in this print offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal period in American history.
As we reflect on this scene from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring legacies left by early settlers and explorers. This print is not just a visual representation but also a window into an era marked by ambition, conflict, and cultural exchange.
