EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-colored 19th-century woodcut reproduction of Thomas Harriot's map of Virginia from the year 1588. Steeped in history, this vintage document provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of American exploration and colonization. The intricate illustration depicts an English sailing ship gracefully navigating the Atlantic coast, symbolizing the brave journeys undertaken by settlers during that era. The map encompasses various significant landmarks such as the James River, Roanoke Island (home to Raleigh's colony), and Outer Banks. It also highlights indigenous Amerindian tribes like Powhatan and Secotan, reminding us of their rich heritage intertwined with this colonial narrative. With its meticulous details and delicate artistry, this map offers a visual time capsule capturing the essence of 16th-century Virginia. The compass elegantly points towards uncharted territories while calipers delicately measure distances on this historical piece. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to witness America's early beginnings unfold before our eyes. This image serves as a reminder of our nation's complex past and invites us to explore how these events have shaped our present-day United States.
