EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the historic moment when William Penn, the English founder and 'Absolute Proprietor' of the Province of Pennsylvania, made a treaty with the Delaware or Lenape Indians in 1682. The scene takes place under the majestic elm tree at Shackamaxon, located in present-day Pennsylvania. In this 20th-century print by an anonymous English School artist, we witness a significant conversation between Penn and members of the Lenape tribe. The atmosphere is one of respect and understanding as they engage in discussion and negotiation. Seated together outdoors, Penn and his indigenous counterparts are depicted in detailed portraiture that highlights their distinctive features. The image showcases not only an important historical event but also symbolizes a crucial agreement between two cultures. It represents a peaceful exchange where both parties sought to establish mutual understanding and cooperation. Through this engraving, we gain insight into early interactions between European settlers and Native American tribes. It serves as a reminder of our shared history on this vast continent known as America. This lithograph is part of a private collection and was created based on a 19th-century illustration. Its artistic style reflects elements from both Gothic artistry and traditional engravings. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction brings to life this pivotal moment in American history for all to appreciate its significance for generations to come.
