EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the gathering of the Pilgrim Fathers around a watch-fire in 1620. Fleeing religious persecution in England, these brave men sought refuge and freedom in North America. Their arrival aboard the Mayflower marked the beginning of their new lives as they established the colony of New Plymouth, named after their port of departure. In this image, we see a group of determined settlers huddled together around the warm glow of the fire. The smoke rises into the night sky, symbolizing both their struggles and hopes for a better future. These men are dressed in traditional attire, reflecting their English heritage and Protestant beliefs. The print not only showcases an important historical event but also highlights themes such as immigration, emigration, and religious persecution. It serves as a reminder of how people throughout history have risked everything to pursue liberty and establish new communities. Captured by Edmund Ollier for Cassells History of the United States, this engraving transports us back to that pivotal moment when these courageous individuals embarked on an extraordinary journey that would shape American history forever. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded to honor those who came before us and appreciate our own freedoms that were born out of their sacrifices.
