EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1600s, offering a glimpse into the early days of New Netherlands. The image depicts Governor Kieft, an authoritative figure in colonial America, delivering a lecture to his subjects on the subject of tobacco. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this halftone reproduction showcases a 19th-century illustration that beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment. Set against the backdrop of a quaint Dutch village in what is now known as New York City, we witness Governor Kieft addressing his fellow colonists. With Manhattan Island serving as their settlement and New Amsterdam as their budding colony, these pioneers were laying down roots for what would become one of America's most iconic cities. The significance of tobacco during this time cannot be understated; it played a vital role in both cultural and economic aspects. As Governor Kieft imparts his wisdom upon his attentive audience, we are reminded of the power dynamics at play within this new world order. Through artful strokes and vivid colors, this print transports us back to an era where North America was still being shaped by European influence. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers insight into how colonial governance unfolded in those formative years
