An early view of New York

SCHENK, Pieter.

Nieu Amsterdam, een stedeken in Noord Amerikaes Nieu Hollant, op het eilant Manhattan: Namaels Nieu Jork Genaemt, to en het geraekte in't gebiet der Engleschen.
Amsterdam, 1702. Old colour. 225 x 275mm.

A Dutch view of New York, based on the ''Restitutio'' view of 1673, when the Dutch briefly reclaimed the city.
By the time this view was printed, in Schenk's ''Hecatompolis'' (Book of Town Views), New York was firmly back in British hands, but Schenk has added a large ship with a Dutch standard to reinforce their aspirations to regain control.
