EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment as the Pilgrim Fathers bid farewell to their hometown of Delft, in the Netherlands, marking the beginning of their historic journey to America in July 1620. The Pilgrims, a group of English Protestants seeking religious freedom, had spent several years in Leiden, Holland, before deciding to embark on a perilous voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. In this print, we see the Pilgrims gathered around their pastor, William Brewster, who leads them in prayer before they leave. Their faces are etched with a mix of determination, hope, and apprehension as they embark on this new chapter in their lives. The women and children, bundled up against the elements, look on with a sense of trepidation, unsure of what lies ahead. The Pilgrims' departure from Delft was the first leg of their journey to America, which would take them to Southhampton, England, before setting sail on the Mayflower and the Speedwell. The journey was fraught with challenges, including rough seas, a leaky ship, and the loss of supplies, but the Pilgrims' unwavering faith and determination saw them through. This print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as the Pilgrims set out to establish a new community in the New World, paving the way for future generations of Americans. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and courage of those who came before us, seeking a better life and a new beginning.
