EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by Howard Chandler Christy, depicting a tender moment from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned poem, "The Courtship of Miles Standish". In this colorful lithograph, we witness the emotional intensity as Miles Standish presses his beloved close to his heart. The artist beautifully captures the essence of their courtship and the deep connection between these characters. Published in 1903 with illustrations by Christy, this artwork is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into early American history. Set against the backdrop of Plymouth Colony and the Pilgrim Fathers' journey, Longfellow's epic poem explores themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. The image also features a spinning wheel in the background—a symbol synonymous with domesticity and industry during that era. This detail adds depth to the scene while highlighting the daily life of settlers in America. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this lithograph transports viewers back in time to experience an intimate moment between two individuals who played significant roles in shaping American history. It serves as a visual testament to both Longfellow's poetic genius and Christy's artistic prowess.
