EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, engraved by Thomas Gold Appleton in 1885, transports us back to the early days of American settlement. The image depicts a Puritan couple braving the harsh winter conditions as they make their way to Sunday worship. Clad in traditional dress, the husband and wife trudge through the snow-covered landscape with an air of nervous anticipation. The man carries a gun, symbolizing both protection against potential dangers lurking in the wilderness and his commitment to defending his faith. His pious demeanor is evident as he walks alongside his equally devout wife, who clutches her Bible tightly. Their traditional costumes serve as a reminder of their strong religious beliefs and dedication to upholding Puritan values within their community. Despite facing challenging circumstances, this couple remains steadfast in their commitment to attending church services regularly. George Henry Boughton's masterful reproduction captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys the emotional depth of these churchgoers turned parishioners. This evocative engraving allows us to glimpse into the lives of early American settlers who sought solace and guidance amidst unfamiliar surroundings. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of our heritage and how far we have come since those humble beginnings in Massachusetts' New England region. It serves as a poignant tribute to those who paved the way for future generations while highlighting their unwavering devotion during times of adversity.
