EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 17th century, capturing a moment in time when New England Puritans braved the harsh winter conditions on their way to church. The snowy landscape sets the stage for this historic scene, as families and couples make their way through the wild and dangerous wilderness of Massachusetts. Clad in traditional attire, women donning aprons and shawls walk alongside men wearing hats and carrying muskets - a reminder of the constant need for protection during those times. The image portrays a sense of unity within this colonial settlement as children follow closely behind their parents. Amidst the cold weather, fear is palpable on some faces while others display determination or reverence towards their religious beliefs. A minister leads the way, guiding his congregation towards worship amidst these challenging circumstances. This artwork provides an intriguing glimpse into early American history, specifically depicting life in Plymouth Colony during its establishment in Cape Cod. It serves as a visual testament to the resilience and devotion of these settlers who faced numerous hardships while establishing themselves in North America. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, it transports us back centuries ago when religion played a central role in shaping communities and individuals' lives alike. This piece encapsulates not only historical significance but also artistic beauty that continues to captivate viewers today.
