EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the rich history and cultural heritage of the New World, this postcard invites us to explore the Jamestown Exposition of 1907. Commemorating the 300th anniversary of the founding of the first permanent English settlement in the Virginia Colony, USA, this grand event brought together the past and present in a spectacular display of American pride. At the heart of the image, we find ourselves transported back in time, with an inset illustration of the iconic moment when Pocahontas, the Native American woman of the Powhatan Nation, interceded for Captain John Smith. The legendary tale of their encounter, marked by understanding and compassion, is a testament to the complex relationships between the indigenous peoples and the early European settlers. The main scene showcases the impressive grounds of the exposition, with various Native American tribes represented in their traditional attire. Warriors, adorned with vibrant feather headdresses and intricate body paint, stand proudly, while their chieftains and leaders engage in peaceful negotiations with the United States officials. The Old Church tower, a remnant of the early settlement, stands majestically in the distance, symbolizing the enduring history of Jamestown. This evocative postcard, with its rich red and earthy tones, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the diverse and complex history that shaped the United States of America.
