EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving takes us back in time to the 17th century, when Native American longhouses dotted Manhattan Island. As the first Europeans arrived on this land, they were greeted by a vibrant village that showcased the rich heritage and traditions of the indigenous people. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment. A sailing ship can be seen anchored near the port, symbolizing the arrival of Dutch colonists who established New Amsterdam in what would later become New York City. The bustling harbor serves as a backdrop to these magnificent longhouses, which were central to Native American life. These dwellings, known for their unique architecture and size, provided shelter for multiple families within one structure. They stood tall and sturdy against the backdrop of Manhattan's skyline, representing both strength and unity among native tribes. As we gaze at this vintage artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in North America's history. It is a reminder of how different cultures coexisted during a period marked by exploration and colonization. This print not only showcases artistry but also serves as a visual documentation of our shared past—a testament to our collective journey through time.
