PERFECT PICTURE
New Netherland –
New York
Partnered Project with OvdL Consulting
The book New Netherland – New York by Dirk M. de Boer is a unique work that sheds light on the shared history between the Netherlands and the United States. Published by Perfect Picture, the project was strongly supported by OvdL Consulting, which contributed expertise in translation, editing, logistics, and distribution in the North American market.
As the creator of New Netherland – New York, he not only researched and authored the text but also oversaw the art direction, photography, and layout, ensuring that the book offers both scholarly insight and visual impact.
His goal is to make history accessible and engaging, highlighting themes of freedom, tolerance, and shared identity that remain relevant today.

With a growing portfolio, Perfect Picture continues to develop projects that bridge history and modern culture, making them accessible to readers, companies, and institutions around the world.
OvdL Consulting’s Role
- Translation and final American editing.
- International logistics, including shipping, storage, and invoicing.

Perfect Picture and OvdL Consulting continue to collaborate on future publications, including Planet Earth, a stunning photo book documenting the successful series of corporate Planet Earth calendars — a natural continuation of the travel and cultural coffee table book line.
