EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Captain Smith rescued by Pocahontas, 1607" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by D. G. Thompson in the 19th century, it beautifully captures the meeting between two iconic figures - Captain John Smith and Pocahontas. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary act of bravery as Pocahontas comes to the rescue of Captain Smith. The image showcases their stark cultural differences; with English sailor attire contrasting against Pocahontas' traditional Native American dress adorned with feathers and intricate headgear. The composition highlights the tension and danger surrounding them. Arrows are drawn, a club is raised high above their heads, yet amidst this chaos emerges an unexpected alliance between these two worlds. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the early interactions between English colonists and Native Americans during the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia Colony. It symbolizes both conflict and cooperation, shedding light on the complexities that defined this historical period. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph invites us to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping our present-day society. It stands as a testament to resilience, unity across cultures, and reminds us that even amidst adversity there can be moments of compassion that transcend boundaries.
