EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "New Amsterdam, c. 1650-53 (The Prototype View)" takes us back in time to the early days of one of America's greatest cities. Serving as the frontispiece for Stokes Iconography, vol. 1 in 1915, this coloured print showcases the Dutch School's artistic prowess and attention to detail. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling coastal settlement on the shores of North America. The landscape is dotted with windmills and boats that traverse the shimmering sea. The iconic New Amsterdam Fort stands proudly amidst its surroundings, symbolizing the beginnings of what would later become New York City. The image captures not only the physical beauty of this colonial outpost but also hints at its significance as a hub for trade and maritime activities. A tugboat gracefully glides through the waters while other vessels dotting the coastline emphasize New Amsterdam's role as a vital transportation center. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection at the New-York Historical Society, we can't help but marvel at how far our beloved city has come since those early days in the 17th century. This artwork serves as a reminder of our rich history and heritage while also igniting curiosity about those who once called this place home. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and appreciate how they have shaped our present-day metropolis - an enduring testament to resilience and progress.
