Item description from seller

Here is the 1968 reissue of"Dutch New York" by Esther Singleton. The book was issued by Benjamin Blom, who was the original publisher of the book in 1909. This is an officially deaccessioned library book, that remains solid, with some obvious evidence of use, but no abuse, remaining clean with a low amount of library markings (There is a pocket and library markings on the rear free end-paper, as well a couple of stamps on the half-title. If there are library marks through the text, they are few, the interior text being clean and free of marking - no underlining, no marginalia. This book covers the earliest history of New York City, which at first consisted only of a small fort and a few settler's homes & businesses. The frontispiece is a reproduction of the first Mayor, on Cornelius Steenwyck. The text covers that early history, as well as discussions about the daily life of the Dutch people who were the first to populate the peninsula (aside from the native tribes who already lived there). There are many interesting pictures, some of them reproductions of old engravings, and some of them halftone photographs. The are pictures of objects held in the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam, including several views of a doll's house from that early time. This doll's house clearly shows what the interior of Dutch homes of that time looked like. The greater concentration of the book is about the daily life and culture of the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam. There are pictures of objects used in daily life (china, drinking cups, cradles, etc.) Many of these , but not all, are also on display in the Rijks Museum. It is a valuable book for anyone eager to learn about life in those earliest years of what would become the mightiest city in the world. Of course this was then New Amsterdam.
