EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1888 showcases Captain John Smith, a prominent figure in American colonial history. Known for his role as the Governor of Virginia and his encounters with Native Americans, Smith's story is immortalized in this stunning portrait. The image depicts a distinguished Englishman, dressed in colonial attire, exuding confidence and authority. His piercing gaze captures the viewer's attention while hinting at the adventurous spirit that defined his life. The vibrant colors used in this commercial lithograph bring to life the rich heritage of America during the 19th century. Accompanying Captain John Smith is Lady Rebecca Matoaka, better known as Pocahontas. This portrayal highlights their unique relationship and symbolizes an important chapter in early American history - one marked by both conflict and cooperation between settlers and indigenous peoples. Displayed prominently at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible cigarette card serves as a reminder of our nation's complex past. It invites us to reflect on the impact of colonization on Native American communities while celebrating figures like Captain John Smith who played significant roles in shaping America's identity. As we admire this lithograph today, it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who came before us and reminds us to honor their contributions to our shared history.
