EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving by Nicolaes Visscher the Younger, titled "Novi Belgi Novaeque Angliae [New Netherland and New England]" captures the essence of Dutch exploration in what would later become New York and New Jersey. Measuring 49.7x58.8 cm, this map is a testament to the meticulous surveys conducted by the Dutch during this time. The focal point of the map is a beautifully detailed cartouche that showcases a panoramic view of New York City, then known as New Amsterdam. This bustling cityscape provides a glimpse into its early development and serves as a reminder of its rich history. As we explore further, we notice various figures scattered across the landscape - perhaps representing settlers or indigenous peoples who inhabited these lands during that era. The presence of bears adds an element of wildlife to this coastal scene, reminding us of the diverse fauna that once roamed these shores. With intricate details and precise mapping techniques, Visscher's engraving transports us back to the 17th century when maritime exploration was at its peak. It offers valuable insights into both historical geography and cultural heritage. Displayed in the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City, USA, this print not only preserves our understanding of past landscapes but also celebrates human curiosity and discovery.
