EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Penn, an influential English member of the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. The image dates back to 1920 and provides a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man. Penn (1644-1718) is renowned for his establishment of Pennsylvania colony and the city of Philadelphia in America. In this chromolithograph portrait, we see Penn dressed in traditional clothing, donning a distinctive hat and wig that were fashionable during the 17th and 18th centuries. His attire reflects both his English heritage and religious affiliation as a non-conformist Quaker. The photograph captures Penn's strong presence and unwavering commitment to his beliefs. As one of the founding fathers of America, he played a pivotal role in promoting religious freedom and tolerance within society. Pennsylvania became a safe haven for those seeking refuge from persecution due to their faith or way of life. This print serves as a reminder of Penn's significant contributions towards establishing these principles in American history. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print allows us to connect with William Penn on a personal level despite being taken over two centuries ago. It stands as an enduring testament to his legacy as both an influential colonist and advocate for religious liberty in the United States.
