ROANOKE LANDING, 1585 - A Glimpse into the Elizabethan Age of Discovery
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the landing of the English at Roanoke Island in 1585. As we delve into this image, we are transported to an era of exploration and colonization, where brave souls ventured into uncharted territories. Contrary to popular belief, Sir Walter Raleigh, who played a pivotal role in promoting this expedition, did not accompany his fellow countrymen on their journey. Instead, he remained home in England while these intrepid explorers set foot on Roanoke Island. The photoetching by Seth Eastman beautifully captures the essence of this historic event. It allows us to witness firsthand the determination and courage displayed by those early settlers as they embarked on their quest for new opportunities and discoveries. Roanoke Island holds a place shrouded in mystery due to its eventual fate as "The Lost Colony". However, through this image, we can appreciate the spirit of adventure that drove these navigators and settlers towards creating a new world. Let us reflect upon this remarkable snapshot from our past - an age when transportation was arduous but essential for expanding horizons. The etching serves as a reminder of how exploration shaped our world today and encourages us to embrace curiosity just as those Elizabethans did centuries ago.
