EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the dramatic encounter between Captain John Smith and Native Americans in Virginia back in 1607. The image showcases Smith, a brave member of the Jamestown colony, surrounded by indigenous people who have taken him captive. The intensity of the scene is palpable as Smith finds himself encircled by danger. According to Smith's account, his life was spared thanks to the intervention of Powhatan, the chief of the tribe. It is worth noting that there remains some uncertainty regarding whether this event truly transpired. Nevertheless, this historical incident has become legendary due to its association with Pocahontas, Powhatan's daughter. The monochrome engraving adds an air of authenticity and timelessness to this powerful visual narrative. It transports us back to seventeenth-century Virginia when tensions between English colonists and Native Americans were at their peak. As we gaze upon this print from Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier (c1880), we are reminded not only of Captain John Smith's perilous situation but also of the complex interactions between different cultures during America's early colonial period. This image serves as a reminder that history often unfolds through encounters like these – moments that shape nations and leave lasting legacies for generations to come.
