EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century line engraving, we are transported back to the year 1636, witnessing an iconic moment in American history. The image depicts Roger Williams, a prominent American cleric and founder of the colony of Rhode Island, as he diligently builds his house at Mantons Cove, located east of present-day Providence. The scene is filled with raw determination and pioneering spirit. Williams stands tall amidst a dense forest, axe in hand and beard flowing freely. With each swing of his axe against a sturdy log stump, he carves out the foundation for his humble abode. Surrounding him are fellow Englishmen who have joined him in this venture - men who share his vision for establishing a new settlement in North America. A campfire burns nearby, providing warmth and sustenance during breaks from construction. The smoke billows into the sky as if carrying their hopes and dreams towards the heavens. This log cabin represents more than just shelter; it symbolizes resilience and self-reliance that would become synonymous with early American settlers. As we gaze upon this historical print by The Granger Collection, we can't help but feel inspired by Roger Williams' unwavering determination to create a community founded on principles such as religious freedom and tolerance - values that continue to shape our nation today.
