EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Captain Smith saved by Pocahontas" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of bravery and compassion. The scene depicted is one that has been etched into our collective memory: Captain John Smith, a prominent figure during the early colonization of America, finds himself in grave danger. Just as all hope seems lost, Pocahontas, a Native American princess known for her courage and kindness, emerges from the shadows to save him. The artist skillfully portrays this dramatic encounter with intricate details and expert craftsmanship. The expressions on both Captain Smith's face and Pocahontas' reveal their emotions - fear mixed with relief and gratitude. The contrast between their appearances highlights the cultural differences between them while emphasizing their shared humanity. This engraving was originally featured in "Great Men and Famous Women" edited by Charles Horne around 1900. Thanks to digital restoration techniques employed on this image, we can now appreciate its beauty without any distractions or imperfections. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Look and Learn's private collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, let it serve as a reminder of how acts of heroism can transcend boundaries and bring people together. It is an enduring testament to the power of compassion that continues to inspire us today.
