EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print depicts a significant moment in American history - the exile of Roger Williams to Rhode Island in 1635. The image showcases the resilience and pioneering spirit of this iconic figure, as he braves a punishing snowstorm while leaving behind the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Clutching his walking stick tightly, Williams embarks on a treacherous journey through the wild and untamed wilderness. The illustration beautifully captures the harsh conditions faced by early settlers, highlighting their determination to establish new colonies despite immense hardships. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who sought religious freedom during this era of intense persecution. Intricately detailed, this vintage artwork transports us back to the 17th century, offering us a glimpse into colonial life in North America. It evokes feelings of admiration for Williams' courage and tenacity as he faces banishment due to his unyielding beliefs. As we gaze upon this historic scene set against a backdrop of snowy landscapes, we are reminded that it is through such acts of defiance and bravery that our great nation was forged. This print stands not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a testament to our shared heritage and the enduring spirit that shaped America's identity.
