EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the renowned story of Pocahontas. In this illustration, we witness the intense struggle between an Algonquin Indian heroine and Captain Smith, as she valiantly rescues him from captivity. The daughter of Powhatan, Pocahontas fearlessly grasps the back of Smith's collar, determined to save him from harm. The artist skillfully portrays the clash between these two contrasting worlds - one representing Native American strength and resilience, and the other symbolizing English settlers armed with rifles. Their fierce confrontation is depicted amidst a backdrop of conflict and tension in Jamestown. Pocahontas emerges as a true hero in this scene, her rifle raised high as she fights against all odds to rescue Captain Smith. Her bravery shines through as she confronts adversity head-on, defying societal norms and risking everything for what she believes is right. This powerful image not only showcases the struggle between two individuals but also serves as a metaphorical representation of larger clashes between cultures during that time period. It reminds us of the complexities inherent in historical narratives while highlighting Pocahontas' extraordinary courage and determination. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork by E. B. Comstock, we are transported back to a significant moment in history when an Algonquin Indian female became an iconic figure - forever etching her name into our collective memory.
