EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in American history - the Baptism of Pocahontas. Painted by John Gadsby Chapman, this artwork depicts the baptism ceremony that took place at Jamestown, Virginia, in either 1613 or 1614. The painting serves as a key to understanding the various figures portrayed within it. In this scene, we see a diverse congregation gathered inside an English church of the time. Among them are prominent individuals such as Alexander Spilman, Richard Wyffin, and Reverend Thomas Whiteaker who play crucial roles in the conversion process. Pocahontas herself stands at the center of attention, accompanied by her uncle Opechancanough and brother Opachisco. The presence of other Native Americans highlights their involvement and influence on this historic event. Powhatan's daughter Rebecca (Pocahontas' birth name) is seen embracing her new faith while maintaining ties to her indigenous heritage. This painting also showcases important colonial figures like Sir Thomas Dale and Henri Forrest who played pivotal roles in establishing Jamestown settlement. A soldier can be seen holding a standard bearer while women dressed in traditional attire observe from afar. Chapman's artwork not only commemorates Pocahontas' conversion but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange during early European colonization efforts in America's Southeast region.
