EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Penns Treaty with the Indians in 1682. The image, taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier, showcases William Penn, an early Quaker and founder of Pennsylvania, engaging in successful negotiations with the Lenape Native Americans. In this scene, we see a group of men and women gathered on a picturesque landscape as they discuss terms of agreement. Penn's arrival is met with curiosity and respect by both parties involved. The engraving beautifully portrays the peaceful interaction between the English colonist and indigenous people. The composition highlights the importance of diplomacy and mutual understanding during a time when colonization was rampant across North America. It serves as a reminder that not all encounters between settlers and natives were marked by conflict but rather moments where cultural exchange took place. The image also symbolizes the birth of Pennsylvania as a colony built upon principles such as religious freedom and fair treatment towards Native Americans. It represents an era when different cultures coexisted harmoniously despite their differences. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back to 1682 witnessing an event that shaped our modern world. It stands as testament to William Penn's legacy as well as honoring the Lenape tribe who played an integral role in establishing peaceful relations during this pivotal period in American history.
