EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, where we witness a significant moment in American history. The image showcases Pocahontas, a Native American woman and member of the Powhatan tribe, aboard a Jamestown ship as a captive. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century beautifully captures the essence of this historic event. Pocahontas' story is one that intertwines cultures and civilizations during the colonial era. As an Eastern Native American woman living in what is now Virginia, she played a pivotal role in bridging gaps between her people and English colonists at Jamestown Colony. In this particular scene, Pocahontas finds herself captured by European settlers on their sailing ship. Her expression reflects both resilience and curiosity as she navigates unfamiliar territory. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the complex interactions between indigenous peoples and early colonizers. The artistry behind this vintage print transports us to North America's past, shedding light on an important chapter often overlooked or romanticized. It allows us to reflect upon our shared history while honoring Pocahontas' legacy as an influential figure who shaped early relations between Native Americans and Europeans
