Native American figures stand at the center of this dramatic scene, which is rendered in warm sepia tones that give it the look of an older, half-remembered event. Little is documented about the specific gathering, so its meaning rests largely on its period. Pictures like this were widely produced in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when sepia printing was popular and the Pilgrim story was often retold through romantic scenes of first encounters. Such images often reveal as much about the era that made them as about the people shown, so posture, setting and costume are worth examining closely.
