EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the Seal of the Province of New Netherland, a significant emblem from the 17th century. Created by an anonymous American artist, this print is now part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society in the United States. The seal represents the Dutch West India Company's influence and control over New Netherland, a colonial settlement in America. It features a striking baroque design with intricate details that highlight its historical significance. The central focus is on a beaver, symbolizing the fur trade industry that played a crucial role in early European colonization efforts. Surrounded by a roundel adorned with various symbols and crests, this emblem serves as a reminder of New Amsterdam (now known as New York) and its rich history as one of America's earliest settlements. Its presence evokes images of bustling trade routes and wild animals native to this new world. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness an era when European powers sought to establish their dominance across uncharted territories. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an important artifact representing colonial expansionism in North America.
