EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1878 titled "Williams Return, 1644" we are transported back to a significant moment in American history. The image depicts the eagerly awaited arrival of Roger Williams on the Seekonk River in autumn 1644, following his return from England with the charter for Providence Plantations. As we gaze upon the scene, we witness a crowd of settlers gathered along the riverbank to welcome their esteemed leader. Men and women alike stand amidst a lush forest backdrop, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. A sense of unity and hope permeates through the air as they extend their warm reception to Williams. The setting itself is picturesque - a serene river flowing gently alongside them, while canoes dot its surface. It serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by these early colonists in traversing vast distances by water and their reliance on maritime transportation for survival. This wood engraving not only captures an important historical event but also showcases elements that defined colonial life - exploration, settlement, and community building. It symbolizes how Williams' efforts paved the way for future generations to establish Rhode Island as a thriving colony. As we reflect upon this print from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it reminds us of our shared heritage and encourages us to appreciate those who laid the foundations for our present-day society.
