EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Departure of the Pilgrim fathers from Delft Haven in July 1620. The image showcases a scene filled with emotion and anticipation as a group of pilgrims bid farewell to their homeland, embarking on a journey that would shape American history forever. In this engraving by Charles West Cope, we witness the pilgrims preparing to board boats that will carry them across the vast ocean to America. The Dutch coast serves as a backdrop, its serene beauty contrasting with the turmoil within each individual's heart. As they push off from shore and row towards their new destiny, one can almost feel their determination and hope for a better future. The atmosphere is charged with mixed emotions - excitement for what lies ahead but also sadness at leaving loved ones behind. The pilgrims are seen wading through shallow waters, symbolizing their commitment to this arduous voyage despite uncertain outcomes. Amidst it all, there is an air of blessing and divine guidance as if unseen hands guide these brave souls towards their new home. This poignant image encapsulates not only the physical act of departure but also represents the spirit of courage and resilience that defined these early settlers. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction, we cannot help but reflect on our own journeys - both literal and metaphorical - reminding us that sometimes it takes great sacrifice to forge new paths towards freedom and opportunity.
