EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1700s, showcasing a colonial farm nestled in Germantown, Pennsylvania. The Shoemakers farm stands as a testament to the rich history and heritage of this American settlement. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut captures the essence of a bygone era. The vintage illustration transports us to an idyllic scene where tradition meets simplicity. The farmhouse, standing proudly amidst lush green fields, exudes charm and character. Its sturdy structure tells tales of countless generations who called it home. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a barn that served as both shelter for livestock and storage for crops harvested from these fertile lands. This agricultural haven was not only essential for survival but also played a significant role in shaping the economy of Philadelphia's colony. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the English settlers who ventured across vast oceans seeking new beginnings in North America during the 17th century. Among them were German immigrants who contributed their skills and culture to create vibrant communities like Germantown. This hand-colored woodcut encapsulates more than just an image; it encapsulates centuries of history and resilience that shaped our nation's identity. It serves as a visual reminder that our roots run deep within these lands, connecting us to those who came before us
