EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1600s, capturing a significant moment in history - the arrival of French missionaries on Mount Desert Island, Maine. The image transports us to a time when America was still an untamed wilderness, with its vast oceanic expanse serving as both a barrier and gateway for intrepid explorers. In this vintage illustration, we witness the brave priests rowing ashore in their small boat, symbolizing their determination to spread Roman Catholicism across these uncharted lands. As they disembark onto the rugged Atlantic coast, one can almost feel the wildness of this untamed frontier that awaited them. The scene is filled with historical significance as it depicts not only religious colonization but also highlights early transportation methods used by settlers during colonial times. This artwork provides a glimpse into the rich heritage and traditional values that shaped North America's history. The artist masterfully captures the essence of this pivotal moment through intricate details and vibrant colors. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days of exploration and settlement in New France. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, let us reflect on our past and appreciate the courage exhibited by these French missionaries who ventured into unknown territory to establish colonies like Mount Desert Island - forever leaving their mark on American history.
