'Sir Walter Raleigh Landing in Virginia', c1900. Native Americans depicted prostrating themselves to European invaders. '"It is", says Professor Laughton, "to Raleigh [that] belongs the credit of having, first of Englishmen, pointed out the way to the formation of a greater England beyond the seas, but he had no personal share in the expeditions, and he was never in his whole life near the coast of Virginia". From "Heroes of History", by Alfred H. Miles, illustrated by Howard Davie [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London]
