THE HUDSON RIVER.

This list is one of prints illustrating the Hudson River from New York City to the Source. In order to fix some limit, only such have been included as actually show the river. (That excludes a picture of the Dutch church at Tarrytown, for instance, or the historic house at Tappan, and includes pictures of the Philipse manor at Yonkers, in which the river appears.)

As the purpose was to illustrate the river at every possible point along its banks, and at every possible time, not only the more important prints have been included, but also inferior wood-cuts and modern half-tones, whenever they served that purpose, and particularly whenever no better material was known or available. A particularly interesting publication, on account of its comprehensiveness, is the "Panorama of the Hudson," showing both sides of the river from New York to Albany as seen from the deck of the Hudson River Day Line Steamers represented from eight hundred consecutive photographs (copyrights 1906, by Wallace Bruce, N. Y.).

In "Beschrijvinghe van Virginia, Nieuw Nederlandt, Nieuw Engelandt, en d'Eylanden Bermudes, Berbados, en S. Christoffel," published by Joost Hartgers, Amsterdam, 1651, p. 21. This is the earliest known engraved view of New York. A worn impression of the plate appears in the first edition of Adriaen vander Donck's "Beschryvinge van Nieuw-Nederlandt," Amsterdam, 1655, p. 9. J. H. Innes ("New Amsterdam and Its People." N. Y., 1902, note 2, p. 2), says: "A slight examination of this view by any person acquainted with the early topography of New Amsterdam will show that it is a reversed one, and as such must, in all probability, have been taken by means of a plain camera obscura,-no doubt from some point on the Long Island shore,-and never restored to its true position. The correct view appears by simply holding a mirror to the reversed one.' ." Opposite p. 2 in the work just quoted from the Hartgers view appears reversed and enlarged.

DANCKERS, 165-? AMSTERDAM 75. NEW (NOW NEW YORK). As it appeared about the year 1640, while under the Dutch Government. Left: Copied from an ancient Etching of the same size, Published by Justus Danckers, at Amsterdam. 3 3/16 x 11%. Line engraving. Em. 10453.

From "A history of New York... by Diedrich Knickerbocker," vol 1, New York, 1809, frontispiece. Dancker's view was a copy of the Visscher view of New York. A worn impression of the same plate appears in vol. 2 of the 2d edition of the Knickerbocker history, N. Y., 1812, frontispiece.

J. H. Innes (New Amsterdam and Its People, New York, 1902, P. 347) says: "The date given to the print is about the year 1640, but as a matter of fact it represents a period about ten years later than that date... Several of the topographical features of the town are brought out with much greater distinctness upon this Dancker's view than on the Vanderdonck View' [which is a copy of the Visscher view]." Mr. Innes concludes that although this view corresponds quite closely in general appearance with the Vanderdonck View, a minute examination shows many points of dissimilarity.
