EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Roger Williams sheltered by the Narragansetts, 1636" captures a significant moment in American history. The image portrays Roger Williams, an English colonist and founder of the Rhode Island colony, seeking refuge with the Narragansett tribe. In this engraving from Charles Mackay's book "The History of the United States" we witness a powerful scene that symbolizes kindness and unity between different cultures. Williams, portrayed as a seeker and writer, is shown being protected and embraced by the Native Americans amidst the backdrop of Narragansett Bay. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. James Charles Armytage's skillful engraving technique beautifully showcases both Williams' gratitude for their hospitality and the trust placed in him by his newfound allies. This image serves as a reminder of how diverse communities can come together during times of hardship. It highlights not only Roger Williams' role in establishing religious freedom but also emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and understanding between settlers and indigenous peoples. As we reflect on this piece from A. H Wray's private collection, it prompts us to appreciate our shared history while encouraging us to foster compassion among different cultures even today.
