EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sabbath-Day with the Pilgrim Fathers at their First Settlement in New Plymouth" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Henry Margetson and published in 1898, this print captures the essence of British imperialism and colonialism during the nineteenth century. The scene depicts a serene Sabbath day in New Plymouth, where the Pilgrim Fathers have established their first settlement. The settlers are seen gathered together, engaging in religious activities and finding solace amidst their new surroundings. This illustration was originally featured in Edgar Sanderson's book, "The British Empire in the Nineteenth Century" highlighting Britain's influence on global colonization. As we delve into this image, we witness not only an important historical event but also glimpse into British culture and its impact on European expansion. The engraving beautifully portrays the unity of these early settlers as they forge ahead with determination to build a new life for themselves. With its attention to detail and evocative composition, this lithograph serves as a reminder of Britain's role as a dominant force during that era. It invites us to reflect upon our shared heritage while acknowledging both the triumphs and complexities associated with colonialism. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art from their private collection for all to appreciate. Through it, we can explore our past and gain insight into how nations like Great Britain shaped our world today.
