Repairs to edges.
William Penn's (1644 - 1718) 'Great Treaty' was reputedly signed with Delaware Indian leaders in 1682 under an ancient elm tree at the village of Shackamaxon, located in what are now the borders of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This highly detailed depiction of the event, shows Penn in the centre left, with his arms open, his entourage beside him, two of his men kneeling, offering gifts to the Indians who are assembled at the right. Buildings in construction can be seen behind at the left, with boats on the sea at right. The painting by Benjamin West (1738 - 1820), who was born in Pennsylvania, is now in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. West was the first American-born artist to receive international recognition and remains one of the most important eighteenth-century painters of historical scenes. He enjoyed a career that endured more than half a century that included serving as president of the Royal Academy. William Penn, quaker leader and founder of Pennsylvania, was the first great hero of American liberty. During the late seventeenth century, Penn established an American sanctuary which protected freedom of conscience. Almost everywhere else, colonists stole land from the Indians, but Penn travelled unarmed among the Indians and negotiated peaceful purchases. He insisted that women deserved equal rights with men. He gave Pennsylvania a written constitution which limited the power of government, provided a humane penal code, and guaranteed many fundamental liberties. For the first time in modern history, a large society offered equal rights to people of different races and religions. Penn's dramatic example caused quite a stir in Europe. The French philosopher Voltaire, a champion of religious toleration, offered lavish praise. 'William Penn might, with reason, boast of having brought down upon earth the Golden Age, which in all probability, never had any real existence but in his dominions'.
