EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, created by George Henry Boughton and featured in a late 19th-century edition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Courtship of Miles Standish" transports us back to the early days of American settlement. The scene depicts Priscilla Mullens, adorned in a traditional bonnet and apron, engaged in conversation with John Alden. Her curious expression suggests she is pondering why Miles Standish himself has not taken up the task of wooing her. Set against the backdrop of Plymouth Colony, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of courtship and romance amidst the challenges faced by these brave pilgrims. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the spinning wheel symbolizing domesticity to the rustic surroundings representing their new world home. Longfellow's epic poem tells a tale woven with love triangles and unrequited affection among settlers striving for survival in North America. This wood engraving brings those words to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in their journey as they forge new lives on foreign soil. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection, New York, we are reminded of our shared history and how love can blossom even amidst adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that human emotions transcend time and place – whether it be 17th-century Plymouth or modern-day society – love remains an eternal force that drives us all forward.
