Description

This print features Peter Stuyvesant, as he stands on shore among the residents of New Amsterdam and watches them plead to not open fire on the British who have arrived in warships and are waiting in the harbor to claim the territory for England. Born to a minister and having received a good education at Franeker, he is well-known for having led an attack on the Portuguese island Saint Martin and for serving as the last Dutch Director-General of the colony of New Netherland till it was ceded to the British.
