EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Captain John Smith, a prominent Virginia colonist in 1624. The image, originally captured in black and white but colorized for enhanced visual appeal, offers a glimpse into the life of this influential figure. Born in 1580 and passing away in 1631, Smith played a pivotal role in establishing Jamestown, the first permanent English colony in North America. The portrait is derived from A Short History of the English People by J. R. Green, an illustrated edition published by Macmillan and Co. London and New York in 1893. It depicts Smith wearing traditional attire of the era with his distinctive ruff collar adding elegance to his appearance. Smith's accomplishments as a pioneer are reflected not only through this portrait but also through his notable contributions to colonialism and founding settlements. His Generall Historie of Verginia map further emphasizes his exploration endeavors within New England during that period. It is worth mentioning that Captain John Smith's legacy extends beyond colonization; he is famously associated with Pocahontas (Lady Rebecca Matoaka), whose story has become intertwined with early American history. This remarkable print serves as a testament to the enduring impact of individuals like Captain John Smith on both British and American history, symbolizing their significant role in shaping nations across time.
