EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "LONGFELLOW: STANDISH, 1886" takes us back to a significant moment in American literature. The image showcases an illustration by Arthur I. Keller for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned work, "The Courtship of Miles Standish" published in 1886. In this particular scene, we witness the characters John Alden and Priscilla Mullens engaged in a compelling conversation. As they stand within the confines of an elegant living room, their body language suggests a hint of flirtation and intrigue. John Alden appears slightly hesitant as he listens attentively to Priscilla's words. Her gaze is fixed upon him with an air of curiosity and expectation. The artist skillfully captures the tension between them, emphasizing the famous line from the poem: "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?". Dressed in traditional English attire, these colonists represent the early settlers who established Plymouth Colony in North America during that era. Their courtship symbolizes both personal desires and societal expectations within this new settlement. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Longfellow's literary masterpiece but also offers insight into the complexities of human relationships during colonial times. It reminds us that even amidst historical events and cultural norms, love and desire have always played integral roles in shaping our lives.
