New Year's Day in Old New York - A Glimpse into Colonial America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color wood engraving, titled "New Year's Day in Old New York" offers a fascinating window into the past. Created by an unknown artist and featured in "The Graphic". Christmas Number of December 2,1882, it transports us to the bustling streets of seventeenth-century New Amsterdam. In this vibrant scene, we witness a lively gathering of settlers celebrating the arrival of a new year. Men and women don elegant colonial attire, with men sporting hats and fur accessories while women adorn themselves with neck ruffs and muffs to brave the wintry weather. Amidst the flurry of activity, a young man leans forward to greet a young woman with a friendly kiss on her cheek - perhaps exchanging warm wishes for the season. The air is filled with joyous salutations as people exchange greetings throughout the crowded street. The image captures both the charm and resilience of these early American settlers as they embraced their new world while maintaining ties to their British heritage. It serves as a testament to their determination and spirit during this pivotal period in history. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this remarkable print by George Henry Boughton invites us to reflect on our shared cultural roots and celebrate our collective journey through time.
