EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pocahontas, 1616" offers a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary woman who bridged two worlds. Pocahontas, also known as Matoaka and later Rebecca, was an Algonquin princess whose story continues to captivate hearts even today. In this portrait, we see Pocahontas seated gracefully with half-length view. Her regal presence is accentuated by her traditional Native American attire adorned with delicate lace and feathers. A fan rests gently in her hand while she wears a stylish hat that adds a touch of elegance to her ensemble. The artist behind this remarkable print is Simon de Passe, a Dutch engraver renowned for his attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Through his skillful craftsmanship, he immortalizes Pocahontas' beauty and strength in this timeless artwork. Pocahontas' life was marked by significant encounters with British colonizers during the early days of America's settlement. She married John Rolfe Smith, a British colonel official and Virginia planter, symbolizing unity between different cultures. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from centuries past, let us reflect on the resilience and bravery embodied by Pocahontas. Her legacy serves as a reminder that love can transcend boundaries and that understanding between diverse communities is possible when we embrace our shared humanity.
