EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the arrival of William Penn at Philadelphia in 1682. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are transported to a time when the eastern shores of North America were still being shaped by English colonists. The scene depicts a bustling city emerging from humble beginnings, with log cabins dotting the landscape and smoke rising from chimneys. The Delaware River flows peacefully nearby, serving as both a lifeline and gateway for trade and exploration. In this quaint village, one can sense the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as Penn stepped ashore. William Penn, an influential Quaker leader, sought to establish Pennsylvania as a haven for religious freedom and tolerance. His vision materialized through this very landing - marking the birth of Philadelphia as well as his enduring legacy. This historic artwork not only captures an important event but also provides us with glimpses into daily life during colonial times. It reminds us of our roots and how far we have come since those early days. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared heritage and inspire us to continue building upon the foundations laid by those who came before us.
