New England Colonists, 1600-1700 Budley to Burlisson


I love woodcuts from the 17 century so here are a few to look at. It really gives an accurate(more or less with the exception of the clothing)view of life during this time. But, as in formal portraits today, people often embellished their clothing, adding their "Sunday best" in these 17th century "photographs".
