EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut depicts a pivotal moment in the history of Massachusetts Bay Colony during the 1600s. The image showcases John Endicott, a prominent figure among the Massachusetts Puritans, fearlessly removing the cross from the English flag. This act symbolizes their strong protest against religious intolerance and their commitment to establishing a new society based on their own beliefs. The illustration transports us back to colonial times, where settlers sought refuge in this New England region to freely practice their Protestant faith. It serves as a powerful reminder of how deeply rooted religion was in shaping America's early history. The vibrant colors bring life to this vintage artwork, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more. As we gaze upon it, we are transported into an era when Boston was still emerging as a city and Salem held its place as an important port town. This image not only represents the struggle for religious freedom but also highlights the determination and resilience of these early colonists who paved the way for future generations. It stands as a testament to our American heritage and reminds us of our roots in North America. As we reflect on this piece of art, let it serve as a reminder that our nation's identity is built upon diverse histories and traditions that have shaped who we are today.
