EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of the Navigation Act of 1651, an important legal document from colonial America. The intricate details and elegant calligraphy on this piece by the American School in the 17th century truly capture the essence of its historical significance. The Navigation Act of 1651 was a pivotal trade law that aimed to regulate commerce between England and its colonies, particularly those in North America. This act played a crucial role in shaping colonial America's economic landscape and relationship with its mother country. The print beautifully highlights the text, emphasizing its importance as a written record that shaped trade and travel during this period. The carefully crafted typography draws attention to key phrases such as "an act for increase of shipping" revealing the act's intention to strengthen England's naval power through increased maritime activity. As we delve into this image, it transports us back to a time when legal documents were meticulously handwritten works of art themselves. It serves as a reminder that even mundane paperwork can hold immense historical value. This print is part of Peter Newark American Pictures' private collection, showcasing their dedication to preserving and sharing significant moments from American history. Through this image, we are invited to explore not only colonial America but also appreciate the beauty found within legal texts – an unexpected blend of artistry and legislation.
