EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rectified redraft of the Castello Plan of 1660, which is considered to be the earliest known plan of New Amsterdam, now known as New York City. The Dutch influence on this bustling city is evident in its rich history and topography. The engraving depicts a vibrant street scene from 17th century Manhattan, capturing the essence of a thriving colonial settlement. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the birthplace of one of America's most iconic cities. Lower Manhattan takes center stage in this remarkable map, with its streets and buildings meticulously detailed. The layout reflects both the charm and practicality that characterized early Dutch urban planning. We can almost imagine ourselves walking through these historic streets, surrounded by wooden structures and witnessing daily life unfold before our eyes. The presence of rivers adds another layer to this visual narrative – they were not only vital for transportation but also played a significant role in shaping the development and growth of New Amsterdam. As we explore every inch of this fascinating print, it serves as a reminder that beneath today's modern metropolis lies a deep-rooted history that has shaped New York City into what it is today. This artwork captures an era when dreams were being built upon uncharted lands – an enduring testament to resilience and ambition.
