EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of "Mamusse Wunneetupanatamwe up-Biblum God (The-Whole Holy his-Bible God)" also known as the Eliot Indian Bible. Translated into the Massachuset language by Reverend John Eliot, this historic publication was printed in 1663 by Samuel Green and Marmaduke Johnson. Measuring 18.1x14.5 cm, this engraving is a significant artifact housed at the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston, MA, USA. The Massachuset language was spoken by Native American Indians in Eastern New England during colonial times. As a frontispiece to this groundbreaking work, it symbolizes both missionary efforts and puritanical beliefs that aimed to convert indigenous people to Christianity. This translation marked an important milestone as it became the first bible printed in any language within North America. The image evokes thoughts of colonialism and colonization, highlighting the complex relationship between colonists and Native Americans during this period. It serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange that occurred through translation efforts like these. With its rich historical context and artistic significance, this print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to reflect on themes such as native languages, religious missions, book covers of olden times, and early interactions between European settlers and indigenous communities in America's past.
