This print captures the essence of Peter Stuyvesant, a prominent figure in American history. Known as Petrus to his Dutch compatriots, Stuyvesant held the esteemed position of the last Director-General of the colony of New Netherland from 1647 until its provisional cession to the English in 1664. This pivotal event led to the renaming of this cherished land as New York. In this vintage engraving, we are transported back to the 17th century, where Stuyvesant's portrait exudes strength and determination.
