Index to Illustrations

NOTE—Many well-known pictures of the Pilgrims have grossly
misinterpreted their true spirit. A “Signing of the Compact” or a
“Departure from Delfthaven,” for example, that employs the sentimental
piety, the eyes and arms raised to heaven, of Italian Baroque art,
(that Jesuitical, most Catholic art), fails to reflect the real spirit
of the Protestant Pilgrims. The use of the gracefully reclining and
swooning figures of Italianate renaissance art is likewise
inappropriate.

Reacting sharply from this, the illustrations in the book portray in
the modern spirit both the activities of the Pilgrims and their
settings with strict realism.

Unsparing effort in consulting authorities, old documents, prints, and
actual scenes was expended to secure convincing authenticity.
