Lead with what sets this picture apart: it shows the Mayflower passengers coming ashore in 1620, a scene the gallery files under Thanksgiving because the Pilgrims' first harvest in Plymouth in 1621 is tied to that landing in popular memory. The Pilgrims were English Separatists who had sailed from Plymouth, England, after leaving the Netherlands, and they landed in what is now Massachusetts after a rough crossing of about two months. Pictures like this one were often painted or printed in the 19th century, when the story of the Pilgrims was being shaped into a national origin myth, so the scene tells as much about later American ideals as about the actual arrival. Worth noticing is how the figures are arranged for drama rather than documentary accuracy.
