EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Wouter van Twiller, a prominent Dutch administrator in America during the 17th century. The image captures him at the bustling harbor of New Amsterdam, now known as New York Harbor. In this engraving, we get a glimpse into the early days of settlement and colonization in North America. Van Twiller stands tall amidst a vibrant city street scene filled with people going about their daily activities. The harbor serves as a vital hub for trade and commerce, reflecting the importance of this Dutch colony. As governor of New Netherland, van Twiller played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of this burgeoning settlement. His leadership skills and administrative prowess were instrumental in establishing order and governance within the colony. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of an influential figure but also in its depiction of early European presence on American soil. It serves as a reminder that long before New York became one of the world's most iconic cities, it was once home to ambitious settlers like Wouter van Twiller who laid down foundations for future generations. This remarkable artwork from The Granger Collection offers us an opportunity to travel back in time and witness firsthand the birthplace of modern-day Manhattan while honoring those who shaped its history.
