This sepia print shows figures gathered around a fire, a scene that appears often in images tied to the Pilgrim story in Massachusetts. Many pictures of this kind were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when photographers and printmakers were reimagining the 1620s for a public eager for colonial and frontier scenery. Since the record gives few details about the people or the setting, it is worth looking closely at how the composition frames the figures, and at what the image says about the period that made it as much as the period it depicts. The brown tone of the print was typical of photographic processes of that era.
