Gathered around a plank table in a rough timber cabin, the figures in this engraving are shown at a shared meal, the kind of scene later writers often linked to the 1621 harvest feast at Plymouth. Engravings like this one were popular in the nineteenth century, when the Pilgrims were being recast as the founders of an American holiday tradition. Artists of the period typically drew on documents such as Edward Winslow's account of that autumn, though they added their own details of dress, furniture and setting. Worth noticing is how the image blends historical guesswork with a sentimental picture of family, faith and gratitude.
