EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Penns Treaty with the Indians. Created by Albert Bobbett in 1877, this image depicts English Quaker colonist William Penn making treaties with Native Americans during the 17th century. Penn's efforts played a crucial role in establishing peaceful relations between European settlers and indigenous peoples. The photo showcases two men shaking hands, symbolizing an exchange of trust and goodwill. The colonial settler and the Native American stand side by side, representing unity amidst cultural differences. This historic event took place in what is now Philadelphia, where Penn planned and developed the city under his direction. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this image, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of America's complex past, highlighting both cooperation and conflict between different cultures on this continent. Albert Bobbett skillfully captured this pivotal moment using engraving techniques that bring out intricate details. His work was featured in "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers" written by Benson J. Lossing in 1877. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also its historical value as a representation of early interactions between Europeans and Native Americans on American soil.
