EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of New Amsterdam in the 1600s. The Dutch colonists are seen utilizing the intricate canal system that runs through Broad Street, showcasing their innovative approach to urban planning. The scene is filled with a sense of vibrancy and activity as people go about their daily lives against a backdrop of charming Dutch houses. This snapshot of early American life captures the essence of a city on the rise, its heritage and traditions taking root amidst this burgeoning settlement. A vintage ship gracefully sails along the canal, reminding us of New Amsterdam's status as a prominent sea port during this era. The illustration transports us to an era when Manhattan was still known by its original name, New Amsterdam - a testament to its rich colonial history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but marvel at how far our beloved city has come since those early days. It serves as a reminder that beneath the towering skyscrapers and modern infrastructure lies a deep-rooted past that continues to shape our present-day metropolis. This stunning piece provides not only an artistic representation but also acts as a window into North America's colonial history and United States' origins as it emerged from under Dutch rule in what was then called New Netherland. A true treasure for any history enthusiast or lover of art alike!
