EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut reproduction of a 17th-century map takes us back in time to the Carolina coast during the 1600s. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life an era of exploration, settlement, and natural beauty. The map showcases the Carolinas, with Charleston and the Outer Banks prominently featured. As we gaze upon it, our eyes are drawn to the north on the right side, reminding us that this is how maps were traditionally oriented centuries ago. Intriguingly, various elements catch our attention within this historical snapshot. We spot sailing ships gracefully navigating the Atlantic Ocean while wild animals roam freely across untouched landscapes. From beavers constructing their dams to turkeys strutting proudly amidst lush vegetation, these native creatures symbolize both abundance and untamed wilderness. Furthermore, hints of human presence can be found throughout this map print. English settlements dotting the coastline indicate early colonial efforts in establishing a foothold in North America's southern region. Notably, silk worms allude to attempts at cultivating silk production—a testament to ambitious endeavors undertaken by settlers during that time. As we admire this piece of artistry steeped in history and heritage, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come as a nation since those early days when Charles Towne (now Charleston) was just beginning its journey towards becoming one of America's most iconic cities
