EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic moment in the early settlement of Albany, formerly known as Fort Orange, in New Netherland. The hand-colored woodcut, dating back to the 19th century, depicts Peter Stuyvesant at the helm of this Dutch colony in 1648. The image transports us to a bygone era where we witness the birth of a vibrant village that would eventually evolve into present-day Albany. It offers a glimpse into colonial life during the 17th century and highlights Stuyvesant's role as governor. What makes this illustration particularly intriguing is Stuyvesant himself - an inspiring figure who overcame physical adversity with his prosthetic leg. Despite being handicapped, he led with determination and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on North American history. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the rich heritage and cultural exchange between Europe and America during this period. The Dutch influence is evident in both architecture and lifestyle within the settlement. As we admire this vintage piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder of our collective past and how far we have come since those early days. Let us celebrate our roots while appreciating the progress made throughout centuries within these United States.
