EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Peter Stuyvesant, in armour and skull-cap" from 1647. The unknown creator beautifully captures the essence of Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch director-general of New Netherland (now known as New York). In this portrait, Stuyvesant stands tall and proud, donning a suit of armor that symbolizes his authority and power. His piercing direct gaze reveals a man who is confident in his role as governor and leader. The addition of a black skull-cap adds an intriguing touch to his attire, hinting at both fashion trends of the time and perhaps even personal style choices. The oval-shaped frame surrounding the portrait gives it a timeless quality, emphasizing its historical significance. This image was featured in Elisabeth McClellan's renowned book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in 1937.
