EDITORS COMMENTS
The Edict of William the Testy" is a captivating print that captures a fictitious incident related by Washington Irving. The image depicts a scene from 17th century New Amsterdam, where citizens have assembled in protest against Governor William Kieft's anti-smoking edict. Painted by George H. Boughton in 1877, this artwork beautifully portrays the tension and defiance of the colonists. In this bustling city street, we see people from all walks of life coming together to voice their opposition to the governor's declaration. Settlers and colonists stand shoulder to shoulder with pipes in hand, symbolizing their love for tobacco and personal freedom. The atmosphere is charged with determination as they rally against what they perceive as an infringement on their rights. The painting not only showcases the spirit of resistance but also highlights the diverse community that existed in New Amsterdam at that time. Dutch settlers mingle with North American natives, creating a vibrant tapestry of cultures united under one cause. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of our ancestors' fight for individual liberties and challenges unjust authority. It invites us to reflect on how far society has come since then while reminding us that standing up for what we believe in remains crucial even today.
