EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A band of exiles moor d their bark on the wild New England shore, 1620" by As Forrest, takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts the arrival of Puritans on Plymouth Rock in 1620, as they establish the first Quaker colony in America. This illustration was originally featured in the book "Our Island Story" by H E Marshall, published in 1905. The scene showcases a rugged and untamed New England coastline where a small group of English colonists have disembarked from their ship, Mayflower. With determined expressions on their faces and luggage at hand, these brave individuals symbolize the spirit of adventure and resilience that characterized early colonialism. Despite its historical significance, it is important to note that this image is part of a book known for its biased pro-British perspective. Nevertheless, it offers valuable insights into how British society viewed colonization during the early 20th century. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from centuries ago while highlighting the role played by women among these settlers. It serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by those who sought refuge and religious freedom in America and also raises questions about colonialist narratives prevalent during that era. Overall, this print captures an iconic moment when European settlers embarked upon new shores with hopes for building a better future amidst unfamiliar landscapes and cultures.
