Emigrant Emigrants Farewell Gathering Pilgrimage Plymouth Protestant Protestants

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Departure of the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620, captured in this vibrant color lithograph from The Outline of History by H. G. Wells, Volume II, published in 1920, transports us back to a significant moment in history. As we gaze upon this print, we witness the brave and determined group of Protestant pilgrims bidding farewell to their loved ones and embarking on a perilous journey across the vast Atlantic Ocean. The scene unfolds at Plymouth Harbor, where ships and boats are ready to carry these pioneers towards an unknown land - America. A crowd of spectators has gathered to witness this historic departure, filled with both hope for a better future and sorrow at parting ways with their friends and family. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of pilgrimage as these courageous emigrants set sail into uncharted territories. Their decision reflects not only religious devotion but also an unwavering spirit of adventure and exploration. As we contemplate this image from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys and appreciate the freedoms that were forged through such acts of courage. Let us honor these Pilgrim Fathers who paved the way for generations to come – shaping not just American history but also inspiring countless others around the world.
