Explorer, Folk Hero (c. 1612–1672)

Dutch colonial governor Peter Stuyvesant is best known for trying to resist the English seizure of New York and is a major figure in the early history of New York City. Dutch colonial governor Peter Stuyvesant became director general of all Dutch possessions in North America and the Caribbean in 1645. Upon his arrival in New Amsterdam, he established a council and the first municipal government for the city. In August 1664, Stuyvesant was forced to surrender New Netherland to the British and New Amsterdam became New York City.

The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.).  While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
