EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic woodcut titled "Pilgrims set sail on the Mayflower" by an anonymous English School artist from the 17th century. The image depicts a significant moment in history when a group of Pilgrims embarked on their journey to America, seeking religious freedom and escaping persecution. The woodcut captures the essence of this pivotal event as men and women, dressed in traditional attire, board the Mayflower ship. These brave souls were primarily Puritans and Protestants who had faced severe oppression under Catholic rule. Forced to live in exile in Leyden, they made the courageous decision to depart from Holland in 1620. The image evokes a sense of determination and hope as these English migrants leave behind their homeland for an uncertain future across the Atlantic Ocean. It serves as a visual reminder of their unwavering faith and commitment to establishing a new life where they could freely practice their beliefs. Notably absent from this depiction are any references to commercial use or specific companies associated with this artwork. Instead, it focuses solely on commemorating the bravery of these pilgrim fathers while shedding light on historical events that shaped American society, such as the arrival of Puritans and Quakers. Overall, this powerful photograph invites viewers to reflect upon our collective past while honoring those who paved the way for religious tolerance and diversity in America.
