EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "SUBMISSION OF JAMESTOWN" transports us back to a significant moment in history. In this color engraving, created by Alfred R. Waud in 1878, we witness the surrender of Governor William Berkeley and other colonial leaders at Jamestown, Virginia. The year is 1652, and commissioners sent from London by the Commonwealth government have arrived to assert their authority over the colony. The image exudes an air of tension and resignation as these influential figures submit to the power of the commissioners. The setting is a picturesque beach on America's southeastern coast, where English settlers first established their presence in the New World. A ship anchored offshore symbolizes both transportation and maritime dominance. Governor Berkeley stands prominently among his fellow colonists, wearing a distinguished hat adorned with a plume that signifies his status. Surrounding him are men representing various aspects of colonial life – from settlement to trade – all now faced with relinquishing control. This historic event marked an important turning point for Jamestown and its inhabitants. It highlights not only England's influence but also reveals how early American colonies were subject to external governance during this period. Through this remarkable artwork preserved by The Granger Collection, we gain insight into one chapter of America's past when power dynamics shifted within its earliest settlements.
