Colonialist Conference Founder Meeting Penn Pennsylvania Quaker Settler Settlers Speaker Speech United States Of Amercia William Penn Ann Ronan Pictures
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we see William Penn, the renowned English Quaker and colonialist who founded Pennsylvania in 1682. The image captures a significant moment in history as Penn engages in a conference with fellow colonialists during the 17th century. His commanding presence is evident as he stands tall, exuding confidence and wisdom. As a prominent speaker of his time, Penn's speech must have captivated his audience, for they lean forward attentively, hanging on to every word. This engraving beautifully portrays the essence of this historical meeting, showcasing the determination and vision that drove these settlers to establish their new colony. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the image, transporting us back to the 19th century when it was originally published in Harper's Weekly. It serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since its founding days. Pennsylvania owes much of its existence to this remarkable man whose religious beliefs shaped his approach towards governance. As a devout Quaker himself, Penn sought to create a haven where religious freedom could flourish alongside peaceful coexistence. This print from Ann Ronan Pictures allows us to glimpse into an important chapter in American history - one that celebrates both faith and perseverance. It serves as an enduring tribute not only to William Penn but also to all those who played a part in shaping our great nation.
