EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of William Penn's Treaty with the Indians when he founded the Province of Pennsylvania in 1661. The image, a color lithograph by Currier, N. , showcases this significant event that took place between Penn (1644-1718) and Native American tribes. In this scene, we witness a powerful exchange between two cultures as they come together to establish an agreement based on peace and respect. The Quaker beliefs of William Penn are evident as he engages in dialogue with indigenous leaders, emphasizing pacifism and understanding. The composition beautifully portrays the diversity within this gathering. Settlers from Europe stand alongside Native Americans dressed in traditional attire, showcasing their unique cultural identities. One particularly poignant detail is a mother breastfeeding her child amidst these negotiations—a symbol of nurturing and unity. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of mutual cooperation and diplomacy during times of colonization. It represents not only an agreement but also a gift—an opportunity for both settlers and indigenous peoples to coexist harmoniously within this new province. As we reflect upon history through this image, it prompts us to appreciate the significance of peaceful resolutions and cultural exchange in shaping our world today.
