Treaty Signing Between Pilgrims and Wampanoag - 1621 Historical Illustration #295116 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white woodcut illustration, likely created in the mid-1800s, dramatizes the historic 1621 agreement between the Plymouth colonists and Massasoit’s Wampanoag people. It shows figures in period attire-Pilgrims in wide-brimmed hats and breeches, Indigenous leaders in feathered headdresses and deerskin garments-gathered around a blanket with gifts, including barrels and tools, under a gnarled tree. The background includes distant tipis and stormy skies, evoking both solemnity and cultural convergence.
