NEW YORK, 1628 AND 1750



View of New York in 1628, the earliest known representation of Manhattan Island from a copy of Van der Donck's Beschryvinghe van Niew-Nederlandt, 1655.


New York City in 1750, viewed from the Brooklyn side of the East River. Note the flat-bottomed sails and oars, starting its trip across the river, and the  ox-drawn cart in the foreground
