EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the construction of the Palisades at New Amsterdam in 1653. The image showcases a line of fortifications stretching from the Hudson to the East River, serving as a crucial defense mechanism for this budding settlement. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1878, beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment. In the foreground, we see workers diligently engaged in their tasks. A wagon pulled by oxen transports logs for construction while settlers work tirelessly to build these essential fortifications. The scene exudes a sense of determination and resilience as these early colonists establish their presence amidst untamed lands. The cityscape emerging behind them hints at the promise and potential that lies ahead for New Amsterdam. Through this artwork, we are reminded of both the challenges faced by these pioneers and their unwavering commitment to creating a safe haven within New Netherland. It serves as a testament to their vision and perseverance. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but reflect on how far our society has come since those early days. This print is not just a historical artifact; it is also an invitation to appreciate our roots and honor those who laid down foundations for future generations.
