EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "New Belgium" is a remarkable piece of art that takes us back in time to the year 1671. Created by Nicolaes Jansz Visscher, a renowned Dutch engraver, this coloured engraving showcases an exquisite plate from the Atlas Contractus collection. The image transports us to the colonial era of North America, where we can explore various significant locations on this detailed chart. From New England and New Amsterdam (present-day New York) to Long Island and Manhattan, every element on this map tells a story of exploration and settlement. The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to the coastlines of Canada and Rhode Island as they intertwine with the vast American landscape. It's fascinating how such an old artwork can still captivate our imagination today. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, it reminds us of the rich history embedded in every corner of our world. The meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate the efforts made by early cartographers who meticulously mapped out these lands for future generations. This print serves as a window into our past—a reminder that even though time moves forward relentlessly, there will always be remnants of history waiting for us to discover and cherish.
