EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Colonization Society Certificate for Simeon P. Smith, 1837" offers a glimpse into the historical efforts of the New York City Colonization Society in the early 19th century. The image showcases a significant moment as two men, one African American and one Caucasian, engage in a firm handshake. The certificate symbolizes an important chapter in American history when free African Americans sought greater freedom by returning to Africa. It was part of the larger movement initiated by Robert Finley's society founded in 1817. Their ultimate goal was to establish Liberia as a colony where free Africans could experience liberation from racial oppression. In this scene, we witness Simeon P. Smith receiving his certificate amidst a gathering of like-minded individuals who shared their commitment to this cause. The solemn expressions on their faces reflect both hope and determination as they embark on this journey towards freedom. The print captures not only an exchange between two men but also represents the meeting point between different cultures and aspirations for liberty. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by African Americans during that era and highlights their relentless pursuit of equality. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this engraving allows us to connect with our past and gain insight into an important period marked by colonization efforts aimed at securing freedom for all people regardless of race or background.
