EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the rich and intriguing history of the United States through this collection of hand-colored copperplate engravings from Mary Evans Picture Library. This trio of historic scenes offers a glimpse into pivotal moments that shaped the early history of the United States. The first image captures the moment of understanding between European settlers and Native Americans, as William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, makes a treaty with the Lenape tribe in 1682. The Lenape people, also known as the Delaware Indians, are depicted in their traditional attire, while William Penn wears the formal dress of the time. This scene is a poignant reminder of the early interactions between European settlers and the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The second scene transports us to the late 18th century, as Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most influential founding fathers, conducts an experiment to harness electricity from the sky during a thunderstorm. This groundbreaking discovery, which took place in 1752, is depicted in intricate detail, with Franklin's assistant holding a kite and Franklin himself wearing a coat and breeches. This scene is a testament to the spirit of scientific inquiry and innovation that characterized the American Enlightenment. The final scene marks a significant milestone in American history, as General George Washington enters Philadelphia to assume the presidency in 1789. This historic moment is depicted with grandeur, as Washington, dressed in his military uniform, rides through the streets of Philadelphia, surrounded by a throng of people in Regency and Georgian attire. This scene is a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of George Washington as the father of his country and the first president of the United States.
