The Boyhood of Raleigh, 1908-1909
The Boyhood of Raleigh, 1908-1909. Sir Walter Raleigh (1554-1618) was a famed English writer, poet, courtier and explorer. He was responsible for establishing the first English colony in the New World, on June 4, 1584 at Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina. When the third attempt at settlement failed, the ultimate fate of the colonists was never authoritatively ascertained, and it became known as The Lost Colony. From Penroses Pictorial Annual 1908-1909, An Illustrated Review of the Graphic Arts, volume 14, edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose (London, 1908-1909)

The Boyhood of Raleigh, 1908-1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early years of Sir Walter Raleigh, an influential figure in English history. In this image, we see a young boy sitting by the seaside, dressed in a navy sailor's outfit. His attention is fully focused on something he holds in his hand—a pebble perhaps—symbolizing his curious and exploratory nature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Raleigh's future endeavors as an explorer and writer. With his hand gesturing towards the vast sea before him, one can almost sense his yearning for adventure and discovery. The green landscape surrounding him signifies growth and possibility. Raleigh's significance lies not only in establishing England's first colony but also in his contributions to literature and courtly life during the Elizabethan era. This print serves as a reminder of how childhood experiences shape our destinies. Created by an unknown artist and published by AW Penrose in 1908-1909, this piece showcases their dedication to preserving historical moments through visual artistry. It is part of "Penroses Pictorial Annual" which provides readers with an illustrated review of graphic arts from that time period. This image invites us to reflect on the impact individuals like Sir Walter Raleigh have had on shaping our world today while reminding us that even great figures were once young dreamers filled with curiosity and ambition.
