EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "JAMESTOWN: WOMEN, 1621" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image captures the arrival of respectable young women in Jamestown, Virginia, in the year 1621. These women were intended to become wives for colonists who could afford their transportation costs - one hundred and twenty pounds of tobacco. The illustration, created by Howard Pyle in 1882, beautifully depicts this pivotal event. It showcases the women dressed in elegant gowns as they disembark from a ship onto the shores of Jamestown. Their presence symbolizes hope and new beginnings for both themselves and the struggling colony. In this snapshot from the past, we witness not only the physical landing but also a metaphorical planting of seeds that would shape America's future. These brave settlers ventured into an unknown world with dreams of building a prosperous society. Pyle's artwork transports us to a time when Jamestown was still establishing itself as one of the first English settlements in North America. It reminds us of the determination and resilience required to forge ahead despite numerous challenges. As we gaze upon this historical photograph print, we are reminded that behind every great endeavor lies stories untold – stories about ordinary individuals who played extraordinary roles in shaping our nation's identity.
