EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Pocahontas, also known as Matoaka, an iconic American Indian princess who lived during the late 16th century. At the age of 21, she was a symbol of peace and diplomacy between the Powhatan tribe and the English settlers in Virginia around 1595. Pocahontas is depicted in this photograph wearing traditional Native American attire, adorned with intricately designed feathers and a fan, as well as a ruff and lacy collar, suggesting the influence of European fashion. The brocade fabric of her dress adds an air of elegance and sophistication. On her head, she wears a distinctive hat, which is a fusion of Native American and European styles. The hat features a wide brim, typical of Native American headdresses, and is adorned with feathers, beads, and other decorative elements. The crown of the hat is reminiscent of European hats, with a tall, conical shape and a netting veil that covers the back of her head. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the life of Pocahontas, who played a pivotal role in the early history of the American colonies. Her story of love, diplomacy, and cultural exchange continues to captivate and inspire generations, making her an enduring symbol of American history.
