HENRY HUDSON AND THE DISCOVERY OF THE HUDSON RIVER.

1. [Henry Hudson, by Count Pulaski.] 89/16 x 71/16. Photograph of the painting attributed to Count Pulaski in the City Hall, New York. All the engraved portraits of Hudson are based on this original.

An article on this portrait in the Sun (N. Y.) April 1, 1906, recounts the attempts of Meredith Read and Gen. J. G. Wilson to trace the source of the painting. Its authenticity has not been established, though B. J. Lossing once thought ("The Hudson," N. Y., 1866, p. 1) that "conjecture shrewdly guesses" that it was by Paul Van Someren!

Gen. J. Meredith Read, in his article on Henry Hudson in Appieton's Cyclopædia of American Biography," vol. 3, N. Y., 1892, says, p. 298: "There is no authentic portrait or autograph of Hudson... It is possible, however, that his intimate friend, Jodocus Hondius, engraved Hudson's portrait, and that it may yet be found."

2. HENDRICK HUDSON. Left: S. W. [monogram]; right: J. W. ORR N. Y. Vign. 44 x3%. Wood engraving after Samuel Wallin. At head of printed biographical sketch, beginning: "Hendrick or Henry Hudson, as he is more usually known." Picture and text enclosed in a border of two lines.

7. THE FLAG OF THE DUTCH EAST INDIA COMPANY. | D. T. Valentine's Manual 1863. Lithograph, colored.

In "Valentine's Manual," 1863, opposite p. 834. "The flag under which [Hudson] sailed was that of the Dutch East India Company, which was the flag of the United Provinces of the Netherlands-orange, white, and blue, arranged in three equal horizontal stripes; in the centre of the white stripe the letters A. O. C.-Algemeene Ost-Indise Compagnie-The General East India Co."-D. T. Valentine (who availed himself of information gathered by A. K. Gardner) in his "Manual" for 1863, p. 835. Some issues of the manual have this flag reproduced opposite p. 834, while in others the flag of the Dutch West India Company appears instead. The latter has the same colors, but the letters G. W. C. instead of A. O. C.

The lettering is corrected by A. J. F. Van Laer, Archivist, New York State Library, who writes in a letter of July 28, 1909, that the flag bore " presumably in the centre the monogram of the Dutch East India Company, VOC, meaning Vereenigde Ost Indische Compagnie, with an A above it, to indicate that the ship was sent out by the Amsterdam Chamber of that company." ??
