EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1600s, offering a glimpse into the early days of Manhattan Island. The image showcases Smiths Valley, a bustling Dutch settlement that thrived with its blacksmith shop, farm, and shipyard. As we explore this vintage illustration, we are transported to a bygone era where American history was being shaped. The scene is filled with charming details: quaint houses line the streets of this picturesque village while windmills gracefully spin in the distance. A traditional Dutch blacksmith diligently hammers away at his craft, symbolizing the industrious spirit that characterized these early settlers. Meanwhile, ships dotting the harbor serve as a reminder of Manhattan's significance as a sea port and hub for boat building. This print captures not only an important moment in New York City's heritage but also reflects upon the broader colonial history of North America. It reminds us of New Amsterdam's origins as part of New Netherland - a Dutch colony that played an instrumental role in shaping what would eventually become the United States. As we admire this artwork from North Wind Picture Archives, it serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight. It transports us back centuries ago when Manhattan Island was still taking shape amidst its natural beauty and promising future.
