EDITORS COMMENTS
The Massachusetts Bay Colony Seal, dating back to 1628, is a captivating piece of history captured in this photo print. The seal represents the early establishment of the colony and holds significant cultural and historical importance. Intricately designed within a circular frame, the seal showcases an archer holding a bow and arrow, symbolizing strength and protection. This imagery reflects the determination of those who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony to defend their newfound land against any threats. Notably, the presence of an Algonquian Indian alongside European settlers highlights the complex interactions between Native Americans and colonizers during this era. It serves as a reminder that these lands were originally inhabited by indigenous peoples long before colonization took place. This image provides us with a glimpse into North America's colonial past, where men from different backgrounds came together to establish settlements and forge new lives. As we observe this historic artifact through modern eyes, it prompts us to reflect on how our understanding of settlement has evolved over time. While it is important not to confuse this seal with its commercial counterpart associated with Massachusetts Bay Company, its significance lies in being recognized as one of the earliest symbols representing what would eventually become one of America's most influential states - Massachusetts.
