EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures the essence of the Bicentennial celebration of Pennsylvania's founding in 1882. The color lithograph, created by an anonymous American School artist from the 19th century, showcases a momentous occasion in American history. The image depicts a scene filled with symbolism and significance. In the foreground, Native Americans stand alongside colonial settlers, representing both sides of Pennsylvania's complex history. This visual juxtaposition highlights the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities while acknowledging their integral role in shaping the state. The anniversary celebration is portrayed as a grand birthday party for Pennsylvania, complete with flags and festive decorations. It serves as a reminder of William Penn's vision for this land as a place where different cultures could coexist harmoniously. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it prompts us to reflect on our shared heritage and acknowledge the contributions made by both Native Americans and European settlers to build what would become one of America's most influential states. This print not only commemorates Pennsylvania's bicentennial but also invites us to explore themes such as treaties, agreements, and cultural exchange that shaped early America. It serves as a powerful reminder that understanding our past is essential for building an inclusive future.
