EDITORS COMMENTS
December 4, 1901: A Glimpse into the Future from New Amsterdam's Dutch Settlers In this intriguing illustration from the December 4, 1901 issue of Puck magazine, Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam, now New York City, gather around a table, sharing a hearty laugh as they gaze upon the shadows of their future descendants. The settlers, dressed in traditional Dutch attire, are surrounded by the modern innovations and fashions of the early 20th century. The first shadow reveals a stern-looking woman, likely a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), paying homage to the rich history and heritage of her ancestors. The second shadow shows a dapper dandy, with a monocle and cane, embodying the flair and elegance of the era. The third shadow depicts a group of Victorian women, dressed in their finest gowns and hats, engaged in a lively conversation. Their refined demeanor and graceful posture reflect the societal norms of the time. The fourth shadow brings us to the world of leisure and sport, as a group of women enjoy a day at the golf course. Their relaxed and carefree expressions highlight the growing popularity of this pastime among the upper classes. Lastly, the fifth shadow reveals a modern innovation, an automobile, symbolizing the rapid advancements in transportation and technology that were transforming society. As the settlers continue to laugh and marvel at the shadows of their descendants, we are reminded of the rich and complex history that connects us all, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
