Planting the Seeds of Maryland - A Historic Moment Captured in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "PLANTING OF MARYLAND" takes us back to a significant event in American history. The image depicts the founding of the Colony of Maryland, specifically the First Mass that took place on 25th March 1634. Painted by Francis Blackwell Mayer in 1893, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this momentous occasion. In this scene, we witness English colonists and Native Americans coming together to celebrate and establish a new settlement in the New World. Men and women from both cultures can be seen working side by side, sowing seeds for a prosperous future. A priest stands at the center, holding a crucifix high above his head as he leads them in prayer during this inaugural mass. The painting not only showcases the harmonious coexistence between settlers and indigenous people but also symbolizes religious freedom and tolerance - values that would later become integral to Maryland's identity as one of America's earliest colonies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back to a pivotal time when hope was planted alongside crops. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and how different cultures can come together to build something extraordinary. This photograph print is more than just an image; it is a testament to resilience, unity, and progress that continues to inspire generations even today.
