1600s 1640 Dining Eating Meal Puritan Puritans Woodcut
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative woodcut print from the early 17th century, circa 1640, depicts a typical Puritan family scene at home. The image captures the simple yet heartfelt joy of a family meal, a cherished moment in the daily lives of these devout individuals. The father, dressed in a sober black suit and white collar, sits at the head of the table, his serious expression softened by the loving gaze he casts upon his wife and children. The mother, clad in a modest gown and apron, serves the food with a gentle smile, her hands protected by her white linen sleeves. The children, dressed in their best clothes, eagerly reach for the dishes, their young faces reflecting a sense of anticipation and delight. The table is set with plain wooden bowls and plates, reflecting the Puritan belief in living a plain and unadorned life. The warm glow of the candles casts a soft light over the scene, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere. The family's shared focus on their meal, their expressions of love and contentment, serves as a reminder of the importance of family and the simple pleasures of home life in the early 17th century.
