American Indian Message

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of the United States, State of Virginia, we are transported back to the Roanoke Colony circa 1580. The scene depicts a messenger urgently warning of an imminent attack by American Indians, highlighting the tense and dangerous atmosphere that permeated during this time. The colour engraving from the 19th century beautifully captures the intensity of the moment as the messenger rides on horseback to deliver his crucial message. The vibrant colours bring to life the urgency and fear that must have been felt by both sides in this confrontation. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex history of colonialism in America and sheds light on the struggles faced by both Native Americans and early settlers. It is a poignant representation of the challenges and conflicts that arose during this period in history. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the importance of understanding our past and learning from it. It is through images like these that we can gain insight into our shared history and strive towards a more inclusive future for all people.
