EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1680s, capturing a pivotal moment in American history - the arrival of English colonists at the site of Philadelphia along the majestic Delaware River. The image beautifully portrays a vintage sailing ship anchored near the eastern shore, while row boats ferry eager colonists towards their new home. The scene is steeped in tradition and historic significance, as these brave men and women mark their arrival on North American soil. Clad in traditional colonial attire, they embody the spirit of adventure and determination that characterized this era. The illustration transports us to a time when Philadelphia was just beginning to take shape as an English colony. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Pennsylvania's Quaker roots and William Penn's vision for a peaceful haven where religious freedom could flourish. This visual representation offers us a glimpse into the early days of settlement along the Delaware River, showcasing both the challenges faced by these pioneers and their unwavering commitment to building a new life. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this woodcut print serves as an artistic testament to our nation's rich past. It invites us to reflect on our shared heritage and appreciate those who laid the foundation for what would become one of America's most iconic cities - Philadelphia.
