EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored halftone reproduction takes us back to colonial Pennsylvania, where a significant historical event unfolded - the Walking Purchase land claim. The image depicts the momentous agreement between William Penn and Native Americans, specifically the Lenai Lenape or Delaware Indians. In this 19th-century illustration, we witness the clash of cultures and interests as Penn negotiates for as much land as a man could walk in three days. This trade was meant to solidify relations between English settlers and native tribes but ultimately became a source of dispute and controversy. The picture showcases the lush eastern landscape of Pennsylvania during the 17th century, highlighting its rich heritage and traditional way of life before colonization. It serves as a reminder of how these lands were once inhabited by Native American communities who had their own systems of governance and ownership. However, history tells us that this agreement turned into an unfortunate swindle on behalf of the colonists. As depicted in this artwork, surveyors cunningly exploited loopholes in order to cheat the Lenape out of their rightful territory. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on both sides' perspectives while shedding light on an important chapter in American history - one that shaped not only Pennsylvania but also influenced future interactions between European settlers and indigenous peoples across North America.
