EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history captured on a plate created by Enoch Wood & Sons in 1825/30. The plate depicts the momentous landing of English pilgrims from the Mayflower at Plymouth, North America on December 22,1620. In this beautifully decorated ceramic artwork made specifically for the American market, we see key figures such as John Carver, William Bradford, Edward Winslow, William Brewster, and Myles Standish stepping ashore onto foreign land. Above this central scene lies an inscription that reads "America Independent July 4 1776" symbolizing the birth of American independence. Crafted in Staffordshire, England with intricate blue and white pottery techniques popular during that time period, this piece represents both British craftsmanship and its connection to America's heritage. The image captures not only the historical significance of these forefathers' arrival but also serves as a reminder of their impact on shaping modern-day America. It highlights themes such as exploration, colonization, Christianity's influence on early settlers' lives, and encounters with indigenous Native Americans. Displayed within an art gallery or museum setting like the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Americas collection centering around nineteenth-century objects like ceramics and decorative arts; it invites viewers to reflect upon our shared past while appreciating the artistic skill involved in producing such a masterpiece.
