EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of William Penn, a prominent English member of the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Created by renowned artist John Sartain in the 19th century, this portrait beautifully captures Penn's dignified presence and profound influence on American history. William Penn (1644-1718) is best remembered for his pivotal role in establishing Pennsylvania as a colony and founding the city of Philadelphia. As a devout Quaker, he sought to create a haven where religious freedom could flourish, making Pennsylvania an emblematic symbol of colonialism and religious tolerance. In this monochrome engraving, Penn's stoic expression reflects his deep commitment to his faith and principles. His image serves as a reminder of the early colonists' pursuit of liberty and their unwavering dedication to building a new nation based on democratic values. Penn's portrait not only represents an individual but also embodies broader themes such as Puritanism, Protestantism, and England's influence during the 17th century. It stands as a testament to America's rich historical tapestry shaped by diverse cultures and religions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection by O'Deáinman & Sartain Inman Studios, we are transported back in time to witness one man's indelible mark on both American society and our collective memory.
