EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic moment captured in time - Henry Hudson's attack on a Native American village along the Atlantic coast in 1609. The hand-colored woodcut, originating from a 19th-century illustration, beautifully depicts this significant event. Intriguingly, the image portrays an encounter between Dutch explorers and Native Americans during the early colonial period of North America. As part of an expedition sponsored by the Dutch East India Company, Henry Hudson embarked on a journey to explore new trade routes and establish colonies in the New World. The scene unfolds with great detail as a vintage Dutch ship sails towards the shore where an Indian settlement awaits their arrival. This artwork not only captures the intensity of this clash but also offers insight into maritime history and exploration during the 17th century. It is important to acknowledge that this depiction represents a pivotal moment in history but should be viewed through a critical lens due to its portrayal of violence against indigenous peoples. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder of our collective past and encourages us to reflect upon how these encounters shaped both European colonization and Native American cultures. This remarkable piece transports us back in time, shedding light on one chapter within New Netherland's complex narrative while igniting curiosity about other expeditions that sought to discover new lands or establish lucrative trade routes like the Northwest Passage or spice trade.
