EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Roger Williams, the renowned English essayist and clergyman, as he sets foot on what would later become the Colony of Rhode Island. The image showcases the founder being warmly greeted by members of the Narragansett tribe, illustrating their harmonious relationship during this pivotal encounter. The artwork is a reproduction of an engraving by George Hall from a work by Alonzo Chappel. It beautifully portrays Williams surrounded by a diverse group of individuals against the backdrop of a serene shoreline. The composition highlights both Williams' importance as well as the cultural exchange that took place between European settlers and Native Americans in early America. Williams' role as an influential religious writer and pamphleteer cannot be overstated. His founding of Rhode Island was driven by his belief in religious freedom and tolerance, making it a safe haven for those seeking refuge from persecution. This historical event marked not only the birth of one of America's original colonies but also laid the foundation for principles that continue to shape our nation today. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to step back in time and witness this crucial moment firsthand. Its black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and authenticity to this seventeenth-century scene, while its horizontal format invites viewers to immerse themselves fully into this remarkable piece of American history.
