Martino A curious domestic tableau appears in Joel Dorman Steele’s 1885 textbook, A Brief History of the United States. The image, entitled “New England Kitchen Scene,” portrays a seventeenth-century woman sitting at her spinning wheel while minding a young child.1 Mother and child are the focus of the image, safely ensconced in a Victorian domestic sphere and separated from a pile of cut firewood and an axe on the floor by a wide fireplace and a bubbling cauldron. A translucent valance and a potted plant on the windowsill establish the space as civilized, cultivated, and feminine, signifying the triumph of colonialism to a nineteenth-century audience. But the artist of the engraving understood that the image required another element to effectively portray the colonial woman of the remembered past. And indeed, next to the potted plant— and partially obscured by the dainty window hanging—is the unmistakable shape of a blocky, early-modern musket within arm’s reach of the woman at the spinning wheel.
