EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history when Samoset, Chief of the Pemaquids, visited the Pilgrim Fathers in 1621. The image showcases the meeting between Native American Indians and English settlers in Plymouth Colony during colonial America's founding years. Samoset played a crucial role as he made the first deed between the pilgrims and Indians in 1625, granting some 12,000 acres to the English settlers. This act of generosity is depicted through this powerful illustration. The composition portrays both curiosity and wariness on the faces of those present. The female figure appears cautious yet intrigued by this encounter with people from another world. On the other hand, fear can be seen etched onto some individuals' expressions as they cautiously approach each other. The artwork beautifully captures an important treaty being formed between two vastly different cultures. It serves as a reminder of early attempts at peaceful coexistence and cooperation amidst unfamiliar territories. This lithograph offers us a glimpse into seventeenth-century North America, showcasing not only historical events but also highlighting cultural exchanges that shaped our understanding of America's diverse heritage. Displayed within private collections today, this print continues to evoke intrigue and contemplation about our shared past while reminding us of the importance of mutual respect and understanding across cultures.
