EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, titled "View of Manhattan. c.1660," is an anonymous depiction of the coastline of Manhattan Island and the city of New Amsterdam, now known as New York. The scene is rendered from the perspective of the sea, with three Dutch flagged sailing ships anchored in the foreground. The city's fortifications are prominently displayed, with cannons positioned at the ready, reflecting the Dutch settlers' defensive mindset. The buildings of New Amsterdam, with their distinctive gabled roofs, line the shore, while the island's natural beauty is showcased through the lush greenery and the winding waterways. The lettering on the print, "Nieuw Amsterdam ofte nue nieuw Iorx opt 't Eylant Man," translates to "New Amsterdam or the new Iorx on Manhattan Island," further emphasizing the Dutch origin of the settlement. This historic artwork, with its rich colors and intricate details, provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of New York City and the Dutch influence on its development. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or historical exhibit, offering a unique perspective on the geography, culture, and heritage of the New World.
