EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Reverend Samuel Manning in the 1880s, transports us back to the early days of New York City. The image showcases the fort and settlement of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island during the 1620s. In this scene, we witness a bustling harbor along the Hudson River as Native American Indians gracefully paddle their canoes through its waters. The boats elegantly glide past each other, creating a sense of movement and life within the print. The Dutch influence is evident in the architecture of both the fort and surrounding buildings. These structures stand proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, symbolizing growth and exploration. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it becomes clear that this was an era marked by cultural exchange and trade between Europeans and Native Americans. It serves as a reminder of our nation's complex history and how different cultures have shaped its development. This lithograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our roots as Americans. It reminds us that beneath towering skyscrapers lies a rich tapestry woven with stories from centuries past – stories that continue to shape who we are today.
