EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1600s, when Delaware was settled by courageous colonists from Sweden. The image depicts a significant moment in history - Swedish settlers landing at Paradise Point, Delaware. The scene is filled with an air of adventure and anticipation as a sailing ship gracefully glides towards the eastern shores of North America. A family stands on the deck, their eyes fixed on the wild and untamed wilderness that awaits them. They are pioneers, driven by a deep sense of heritage and tradition. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historic event, showcasing the determination and resilience of these early Swedish settlers who ventured into unknown territories to establish their colony in New Sweden. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the arrival of these brave men and women who laid down roots along Delaware's Atlantic coast. Let us not forget the significance of this momentous occasion in American history; it marks one small step towards building what would eventually become the United States as we know it today. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and honors those who paved the way for future generations.
