"Early Explorers"
A new series of original paintings by Ron Lesser

A 400th Anniversary Event - Henry Hudsons Exploration of the North American Coast in 1609

These paintings were created to commemorate Henry Hudson's exploration of the Penobscot Bay on the Maine coast and his discovery weeks later of the "Hudson River" in New York.

The Englishman Henry Hudson, sailing on an expedition underwritten by the Dutch, was on his Third Voyage to the New World, seeking a passageway which was hoped to lead to the Far East. After departing Maine, Hudson and his crew went on to identify the Delaware Bay and River, Cape May, NJ, and discover what is now called the "Hudson River" in New York State.
