DESCRIPTION: The Mayflower Compact, 1620 by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris c. 1920. Passengers of the Mayflower signing the "Mayflower Compact", including John Carver sitting at the head of the old chest on which they write, and a man Ferris identified as Winston, but who was probably Edward Winslow, holding the ink horn for John Alden, who signs his name. Myles Standish sits in a chair, turned to face the signers. In addition, Ferris singled out John Howland, William Bradford, Isaac Allerton, and a man only identified as Fuller, so either Samuel or Edward Fuller. Ferris chose to include Mary Chilton "as a representative of the sex that did most of the real work of the colony."
