EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1876, we are transported back to the early days of exploration and encounter between European settlers and Native Americans. The scene depicts Henry Hudson, a renowned English explorer, sharing brandy with natives of Manhattan Island in September 1609. Clad in traditional clothing, the indigenous people stand tall and proud as they engage in this historic meeting. The image captures the essence of curiosity and discovery that defined the Age of Exploration. Hudson's expedition up the river that now bears his name was a pivotal moment in history, marking the beginning of European colonization in North America. Amidst a backdrop of untamed wilderness, both parties exchange not only spirits but also cultural experiences. The Dutch influence is evident through Hudson's attire - an elegant hat and sword - while the native individuals showcase their rich heritage. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and highlights the complexities inherent in these encounters. It invites us to reflect on how different cultures intersected during this transformative period. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by The Granger Collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging that it represents just one chapter within a much larger narrative – one filled with exploration, exploitation, cooperation, conflict, resilience, and ultimately shaping what would become known as New Amsterdam or present-day New York City.
