English Settlers in America, (1877) - A Glimpse into the Early Struggles of Colonization
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 17th century when European settlers arrived on the east coast of what is now the United States. Captured by Albert Bobbett, this image showcases a pivotal moment in American history. In this engraving from "Our Country: a Household History for All Readers" we witness the hardships faced by these brave pioneers as they fought to survive in an unfamiliar land. The chilling winter season adds to their challenges, with smoke billowing from a fire that provides warmth and comfort amidst freezing temperatures. The settlers depicted here are dressed in traditional English attire, showcasing their strong ties to their homeland. They stand alongside cattle, symbolizing their determination to establish agricultural practices reminiscent of England. Felix Octavius Carr Darley's skilled hand brings life to each character portrayed – men and women alike – highlighting both genders' contributions during this period of colonialism. Their expressions reflect resilience and hope despite facing countless obstacles. Religion played a significant role in shaping these settlers' lives; Protestantism and Puritanism guided them through times of uncertainty. This image serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted religious beliefs were among these early colonists. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, let us remember those who paved the way for future generations. It stands as a testament to human perseverance against adversity while honoring our shared heritage on this vast continent called America.
