EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print, we are transported back to the early days of Boston's history as we witness a momentous meeting between Native Americans and English colonists. The year is 1635, and the scene unfolds on the serene banks of the Charles River in Massachusetts Bay Colony. As a rowboat gently glides towards shore, a group of Puritan settlers arrives in this new land with hopes and dreams for their future. To their surprise and delight, they are warmly greeted by Native Americans who extend a gesture of friendship - a gift of fish symbolizing sustenance and abundance. This hand-colored engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historic encounter. It serves as an important reminder that amidst the vast wilderness, cultural differences can be bridged through mutual respect and understanding. The image transports us to a time when North America was still largely unexplored territory. It evokes feelings of curiosity about our collective heritage while also highlighting how diverse cultures came together to shape what would become modern-day Boston. Through artistry and attention to detail, this illustration immortalizes an era where colonial transportation brought people from distant lands into contact with indigenous communities. It invites us to reflect on our shared history as well as appreciate the rich tapestry woven by those who first called this land home – both Native Americans and English settlers alike.
