EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from the 19th century captures a significant moment in history - the founding of the colony of Maryland. In this scene, we witness an amalgamation of cultures as English settlers and American Indians come together for the first mass on March 25th, 1634. The image showcases a priest standing at the forefront, holding a cross and crosier high above his head as he leads the worship ceremony. Surrounding him are men and women dressed in traditional English attire alongside American Indians adorned with their distinct head dresses. The print beautifully depicts the harmonious coexistence between these two groups during this historic event. It symbolizes unity and mutual respect as they gather to establish a new settlement in what was then known as the New World. As we delve into this artwork by The Granger Collection, we are transported back to a time when different cultures converged upon unfamiliar lands with hopes for prosperity and freedom. It serves as a reminder that America's rich tapestry is woven together by diverse individuals who came together to build communities like Maryland. This wood engraving not only commemorates an important milestone in colonial history but also celebrates our collective journey towards understanding and acceptance across cultural boundaries.
