EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse of New York from the sea. The image showcases the picturesque coastline of Manhattan Island, with its charming village-like atmosphere and rows of quaint houses lining the shore. As we delve into history, we discover that this was once New Amsterdam, later transformed into the bustling metropolis we now know as New York City. The artwork is believed to be an original watercolor dating back to around 1660, possibly created by Dutch artist Johannes Vingboons or someone inspired by his style. It resides within the esteemed collection of Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Sailing boats gracefully dotting the waters add a touch of maritime charm to this scene. One cannot help but imagine what life must have been like during those early colonial days when Dutch settlers established their presence on these shores. Notably present in this depiction is a gibbet—a stark reminder of justice served and perhaps a deterrent against wrongdoing. This detail serves as a testament to both historical accuracy and artistic storytelling within this remarkable archival piece. Thanks to Ken Welsh's skillful photography, viewers can now appreciate this slice of history from their own homes.
