EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the early days of American history, specifically to the year 1635. In this illustration, we witness a group of Puritan families embarking on a treacherous journey from an unknown location towards Connecticut River Valley. These brave colonials are determined to settle in Wethersfield and Windsor, seeking new beginnings and religious freedom. The scene is set amidst a harsh winter snowstorm, symbolizing the hardships these pioneers faced as they ventured into the untamed wilderness. A man leads his oxen-drawn cart through the snowy terrain, while his wife walks alongside him with their children huddled close for warmth. The family dog faithfully follows behind them, serving as both companion and protector. This image beautifully captures the essence of traditional colonial life - resilience in the face of adversity and unwavering determination to build a better future for themselves and generations to come. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how far we have come since those early days. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, it transports us back in time to witness firsthand the challenges encountered by these trailblazers who laid down roots in what would eventually become one of America's most historic regions – New England. This piece truly encapsulates not only their physical journey but also their indomitable spirit that shaped North America into what it is today - united states built upon dreams realized through perseverance and sacrifice.
