EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - William Penn's treaty with the Indians. Illustrated by Arthur C. Michael and featured in H. E. Marshall's book "This Country of Ours, The Story of the United States" from 1917, this color lithograph brings to life an important event that took place under the spreading branches of a great elm tree. In this scene, we see William Penn (1644-1718), an Englishman and founder of Pennsylvania, standing alongside Native American leaders from the Lenape tribe. With feathers adorning their headdresses, these indigenous people represent a rich cultural heritage that has long been intertwined with America's history. The image symbolizes unity and peace as both parties gather together to swear an oath of living harmoniously in brotherly love. This historic agreement between Penn and the Lenape tribe was one of mutual respect and cooperation, setting a precedent for future relations between European settlers and Native Americans. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of early 17th-century America - a time when explorers like Penn ventured into unknown territories, encountering different cultures along their journey. It serves as a reminder of our nation's diverse roots and highlights the importance of understanding and appreciating our shared history. Displayed within private collections today, this stunning lithograph continues to inspire reflection on our past while encouraging us to strive for harmony among all peoples in our present day society.
