EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early days of American history, showcasing the cover of "The General Historie of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles" by Captain John Smith. The Colony of Virginia, named after Queen Elizabeth I - famously known as the "Virgin Queen" due to her lifelong single status - was one of the earliest English colonies in North America. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the significant role that Captain John Smith played in shaping the destiny of this colony. His leadership and exploration efforts during his tenure as a captain left an indelible mark on Virginia's history. The cover itself is a testament to both its historical importance and aesthetic appeal. Its intricate design captures our attention with elegant calligraphy and ornate illustrations that transport us back to 1624 when it was first published. This print serves as a window into an era filled with adventure and discovery, where brave individuals like Captain John Smith ventured into uncharted territories to establish settlements that would eventually become part of what we now know as the United States. It is through these glimpses into our past that we gain a deeper appreciation for how far our nation has come since those early colonial times. This image invites us to reflect on our roots while also celebrating the resilience and determination that shaped America's foundation.
