EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - William Penn's Treaty with the Indians. Engraved by W. French and based on Benjamin West's original artwork, this lithograph showcases the meeting between William Penn and Native American tribes on the banks of the Delaware at Shackamaxon. William Penn, an advocate of religious freedom, founded Pennsylvania as a haven for Quakers and other persecuted religious minorities from Europe. In this image, we witness a peaceful gathering where gifts are exchanged as symbols of goodwill and trust between settlers and Native Americans. The towering elm tree serves as a powerful symbol of unity and harmony in this historic event. The treaty represents an important milestone in early colonial America, emphasizing diplomacy over conflict during a time when tensions were high between European settlers and indigenous peoples. With its detailed depiction of coastal scenery, this engraving transports us to 17th-century North America. It offers us a glimpse into the complex relationships that existed between different cultures during the era of colonization. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also holds immense historical value. It reminds us of our shared past while encouraging reflection on how we can continue to build bridges across cultural divides today.
