EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Pocahontas, also known as Matoaka, an Algonquian Indian Princess who lived from 1595 to 1617. Engraved by B. Eyles after G Staal and featured in the book "World Noted Women" by Mary Cowden Clarke, published in 1858, this historical portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a truly extraordinary woman. Pocahontas's story is one of courage and diplomacy during a time of cultural clashes between Native Americans and European settlers. Her encounter with Captain John Smith has become legendary, symbolizing her role as a bridge between two worlds. This engraving beautifully captures her grace and strength as she navigated these complex relationships. The black-and-white artwork adds depth to this impressionistic illustration, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details that bring Pocahontas's likeness to life. The vertical composition emphasizes her regal presence while highlighting the rich history behind her legacy. Created in the mid-19th century by talented artists, this engraving stands as both an artistic achievement and a valuable historical document. It serves as a reminder of Pocahontas's significant contributions to American history and honors her enduring impact on our collective memory. Ken Welsh's expert craftsmanship ensures that this print preserves not only Pocahontas's image but also the spirit of resilience that defines her story. Displaying it proudly would be an homage to one of history's most
