EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the earliest image of Manhattan or New Amsterdam, dating back to 1651. Created by the Dutch School in the 17th century, this engraving depicts a mesmerizing scene that transports us back in time. The artwork captures a harmonious blend of cultures as it portrays Manhattan Indians gracefully maneuvering their canoes alongside majestic Dutch sailing ships. The Hartgers View serves as the inspiration for this antique print, making it an invaluable piece of history. With great attention to detail and precision, this engraving beautifully illustrates the bustling settlement that would later become one of the world's most iconic cities - New York City. Intriguingly, we witness a group of people paddling through calm waters on their canoes while surrounded by the natural beauty of an island. This portrayal not only highlights the indigenous Manhatan tribe but also pays homage to Native American heritage during this significant period. As we delve into this vintage masterpiece, our imagination is transported to a time when fortresses guarded these lands and Dutch influence was beginning to shape what would eventually become modern-day Manhattan. This illustration provides us with a glimpse into history and invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since those early days. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to connect with New Amsterdam's past and appreciate its transformation into one of America's most vibrant cities.
