Here the Pilgrims are crowded into a small cabin, bent over a document spread out before them, in an engraved rather than painted rendering. Scenes like this often refer to the Mayflower Compact, the agreement the colonists drew up in November 1620 to set out how they would govern themselves. Engravings of the Pilgrims circulated widely in the nineteenth century, when Americans were turning the 1621 harvest feast into a national origin story, so the image reflects later memory as much as the colony itself.
