I do not know how accurate her information is, on page 76, is a copy of the picture from the second link in Howard's message. It describes the image as New Amsterdam, about 1630,"The earliest engraved view of New York. In A DESCRIPTION OF NEW NETHERLANDS, VIRGINIA AND NEW ENGLEND, by Joost Hartgens published in Amsterdam, 1651. In the New York Public Library. On page 30 there is another "Drawing from an old print."
