EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases John Eliot, a prominent figure in colonial America during the 17th century. Known as the Apostle to the Praying Indians, Eliot was a Puritan minister and missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christian doctrine among Native American tribes along the East Coast of North America. In this image, we see Eliot dressed in traditional attire, wearing a zealous expression on his face as he passionately preaches the gospel. Holding a Bible firmly in one hand and donning an iconic hat, he stands before a congregation of Native Americans who listen intently to his teachings. The scene captures the essence of Eliot's mission: converting indigenous people to Christianity while respecting their cultural practices. The engraving beautifully depicts both sides coming together - an American preacher sharing biblical wisdom with native listeners eager to embrace this new faith. Eliot's efforts were instrumental in establishing numerous praying Indian communities throughout New England. His tireless work and dedication earned him the title "Apostle" symbolizing his role as a messenger bringing salvation and hope to those he encountered. This print serves as a powerful reminder of John Eliot's significant impact on early American history and highlights the important relationship between European settlers and Native Americans during this transformative period.
