EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the arrival of Maryland colonists led by Leonard Calvert in 1634. The hand-colored woodcut, created in the 19th century, beautifully illustrates this pivotal event. In this scene, we witness the brave colonists stepping ashore on North American soil, claiming their territory and establishing a new settlement. Leonard Calvert, prominently depicted with his fellow settlers, marks Maryland as a Roman Catholic colony. This decision would shape the region's religious landscape for centuries to come. The image evokes a sense of heritage and tradition as we delve into the rich tapestry of colonial America during the 17th century. It transports us back to an era where religion played a central role in shaping society and governance. As we explore this vintage artwork, it reminds us of the diverse origins that make up our great nation today. The Southern charm is palpable through every stroke of artistry displayed here. This historic illustration serves as both an educational tool and a visual reminder of our past. It symbolizes not only Leonard Calvert's bold arrival but also represents countless other journeys undertaken by early settlers who sought freedom and opportunity on these shores. Let us cherish this glimpse into our shared history and appreciate how far we have come since those early days when colonies like Maryland were first established on North American soil.
