Summary

Description
English: Articles about the transfer of New Netherland on the 27th of August, Old Style, Anno 1664. The articles were agreed to on September 8th, by six deputies commissioned by Director-general Stuyvesant and his council, and seven English commissioners, including Admiral Richard Nicolls. They are commonly called the articles of capitulation and Nicolls described them as the “Articles, Whereupon the Citty and Fort Amsterdam and the Province of the New Netherlands Were Surrendered," but this broadside, probably printed in Holland, used the word "Overgaen" meaning transfer.
