EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the historic moment when Moravian missionary David Zeisberger fearlessly preached to Native Americans in Pennsylvania during the 1760s. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut of Schuessele's painting transports us back to a time when cultures collided and religious beliefs intertwined. In this illustration, we witness Zeisberger, a dedicated Protestant preacher and minister, engaging with members of the Lenai Lenape tribe (also known as Delaware Indians). The scene showcases his unwavering commitment to spreading Christianity among indigenous communities in colonial America. As an Eastern European immigrant himself, Zeisberger played a crucial role in bridging cultural gaps between colonists and Native Americans. The image not only serves as a visual testament to the early history of Pennsylvania colony but also highlights the significant influence of the Moravian Church during that era. It symbolizes both the complexities and harmonies that emerged from these encounters between different faiths and traditions. With its rich historical context and artistic flair, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on North America's diverse past. It stands as a reminder of our shared heritage while honoring those who tirelessly worked towards unity amidst colonization.
