EDITORS COMMENTS
Gorton's Landing (1646) captures a pivotal moment in American history, beautifully illustrated in this lithograph from Cassell's History of the United States. Published by Petter & Galpin around 1890, this print takes us back to the early days of exploration and settlement in America. The scene depicts a ship anchored near Gorton's Landing, with pioneers disembarking onto the unfamiliar shores. The intricate details of their costumes give us a glimpse into the fashion of that era. As they step onto land, they are greeted by Native Americans, showcasing an encounter between two vastly different cultures. This engraving serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination exhibited by these early settlers who ventured into unknown territories. It symbolizes their desire for discovery and expansion, ultimately shaping the future course of America. The artist skillfully captures both the excitement and trepidation felt during this time period. The lush landscape surrounding Gorton's Landing adds depth to the image, emphasizing its natural beauty and untapped potential. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak and new frontiers were being discovered. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate our rich heritage and understand how far we have come as a nation.
