EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a striking portrait of John Winthrop the Younger, an early governor of the Connecticut Colony in the 17th century. Dressed in typical Puritan attire, he stands as a representation of the religious and cultural values that shaped the Massachusetts Colony during this time period. The image showcases his stern expression and direct gaze, reflecting the seriousness and devoutness associated with Puritanism. His clothing, consisting of a jacket with a high collar, exemplifies the modesty and simplicity advocated by this religious movement. Taken from Elisabeth McClellan's "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published in 1937 by Tudor Publishing Company, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both historical fashion trends and colonial America. It serves as a reminder of how religion played an influential role in shaping society during these formative years. Through this portrait, we are transported back to a time when settlers like John Winthrop sought to establish their own communities based on their strict interpretation of Protestantism. This image not only provides insight into one man's life but also represents an entire era defined by its religious fervor and commitment to building new lives in uncharted lands. As we admire this piece from our past, it reminds us of the rich history that has shaped America into what it is today.
