PENN ARRIVES AT NEW CASTLE - A Historic Moment in the Making
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1882 captures a significant event in American history - the arrival of William Penn, founder of the colony of Pennsylvania, at New Castle on the Delaware River. The image takes us back to that momentous day on October 27,1682. In this scene, we witness Penn's arrival as he steps onto the shores of New Castle. Surrounded by a group of men who would become settlers and colonists in his newly established colony, Penn exudes determination and vision. His presence signifies hope for a better future and promises of religious freedom for those seeking refuge. The wood engraving beautifully depicts the North American landscape with its lush greenery and serene waters. It transports us to a time when America was still being shaped by courageous pioneers like William Penn. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Penn's role as an influential figure but also his lasting legacy as one who laid down foundations for democracy and tolerance within these thirteen colonies. This Granger Collection artwork serves as both a visual testament to our nation's rich history and an inspiration for all those who strive to build communities based on principles such as equality, liberty, and justice.
