EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to Manhattan Island before it became the bustling metropolis we know today as New York City. The image showcases Native American longhouses, providing a glimpse into the vibrant village life that thrived on this land long before Dutch settlers arrived. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life a scene filled with history and cultural richness. The longhouses stand tall against the backdrop of an untouched natural landscape, serving as a testament to the indigenous people's deep connection with their surroundings. As we study this print, we are transported to a different era - one where Dutch influence had not yet made its mark on this part of North America. It serves as a reminder that Manhattan was once home to thriving Native American communities who built these impressive structures for shelter and community gatherings. Through this artwork, we gain insight into both architectural aspects and daily life in pre-colonial times. We can imagine families residing within these longhouses, engaging in various activities that sustained their way of living. Overall, this print offers us an opportunity to appreciate and honor the rich heritage of Native American culture on Manhattan Island before European settlement forever changed its landscape.
