EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the arrival of Colonial Governor Edmund Andros in Connecticut, 1687. The image transports us to Old Saybrook, where the governor is depicted stepping ashore from his ship, ready to assert control over the Connecticut colony. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historic event, showcasing the meeting between Governor Andros and local colonists. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are reminded of our rich heritage and traditional roots as Americans. The scene exudes an air of importance and power as it portrays a pivotal moment in early government formation during colonial times. It serves as a visual testament to the establishment of authority within North America's New England region. Governor Andros himself stands tall and distinguished amidst his entourage, representing royal governance with his title and regal attire. This portrayal emphasizes both his role as a representative of British rule and his position as a figurehead for colonial administration. As we reflect on this piece, it offers us insight into life during the 17th century while also inviting contemplation about how far our nation has come since those early days. It reminds us that every step taken by these historical figures shaped what would eventually become the United States of America.
