A Puritan couple leads a group of figures along a shoreline path, a scene that calls up the English dissenters who settled New England in the 1620s and 1630s. Those settlers favored sober dark clothing and plain fabrics, a discipline tied to their religious beliefs. Their austere community and its Atlantic coastline later became favorite subjects for American writers, including Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who turned the colonial past into fiction and verse. Pictures of Puritans on the shore often suggest the isolation and hardship of settling a new land.
