EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PURITAN CHURCH DRUMMER" takes us back to the 17th century in New England, where church bells were absent but the call to service was still essential. The wood engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures a scene of colonial life and religious devotion. In this image, we see a Puritan drummer standing outside a quaint English-style church. Dressed in typical Puritan fashion, with his hat firmly on his head to protect against the winter snowfall, he holds a drum that he skillfully plays. His rhythmic beats echo through the settlement as he summons fellow Puritans to gather for worship. The simplicity of this scene is striking; it showcases how early settlers adapted their traditions and resources to maintain their faith even in unfamiliar surroundings. The absence of church bells did not deter these resilient individuals from coming together for spiritual guidance. Amidst the snowy landscape, we also notice a deer gracefully observing this solemn moment – perhaps an emblematic representation of nature's presence within their daily lives. This historic engraving by The Granger Collection offers us a glimpse into an important aspect of American history – one that highlights both religious practices and cultural adaptation during colonial times. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' determination and commitment to preserving their beliefs despite challenging circumstances.
