EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Pilgrim Fathers on their way to church in 1620. Known as the Puritans, these brave individuals settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, establishing the first permanent colony in New England. The engraving is based on an original painting by G. H. Boughton, showcasing his talent for capturing historical scenes with great detail. In this portrait-like image, we see a group of determined pilgrims walking solemnly towards their place of worship. Their expressions reflect both devotion and resilience as they navigate the rugged terrain of their new home. Dressed in traditional attire, each figure represents a symbol of religious freedom and perseverance. The significance of this scene cannot be overstated. These Pilgrim Fathers sought refuge from religious persecution and embarked on a treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to establish a community where they could freely practice their faith according to Protestant beliefs. Boughton's skillful use of monochrome enhances the gravity and timelessness of this momentous event. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each figure, emphasizing their individuality within the collective pursuit of liberty. As we gaze upon this print, let us remember those who paved the way for religious tolerance and shaped America's foundation through unwavering determination - forever etching themselves into our nation's history books.
