The Pilgrims' arrival is the subject here, rendered as an engraving by T. Phillibrown after a painting by Charles Lucey, a line of descent that tells you the image was made for reproduction rather than as an original work. The scene carries the 1620 date in its title, the year the Mayflower passengers came ashore at Plymouth in what is now Massachusetts. Nineteenth-century American printmakers returned to this moment again and again, because it gave the young nation a founding story of faith, hardship and endurance, and the Thanksgiving tradition later grew up around the same events. Look at how the artist arranges the settlers and the landscape to turn a practical landing into a moment of quiet resolve.
