Brave Feather Headdress Interceding Jamestown Norfolk Quiver Saving Virginia Warrior 1907 Afar Intercedes Smith
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the spirit of the historic Jamestown Exhibition held in Norfolk, Virginia, USA in 1907. The aerial view of the exhibition site showcases a sprawling landscape dotted with tents and pavilions, transporting us back in time to the early days of American history. At the heart of the scene, a proud Red Indian Brave is depicted, clad in a vibrant feather headdress, quiver slung over his shoulder, and a war axe at his side. His strong, determined stance exudes the fierce warrior spirit of the Native American people who once inhabited this land. Two inset illustrations complement the main image, offering glimpses into the rich history of Jamestown. In one, the legendary story of Pocahontas is brought to life, as she intercedes for the life of Captain John Smith. With a tender touch, she saves her beloved Captain from certain death, symbolizing the complex and often fraught relationships between the Native Americans and European settlers. The other inset illustration showcases the Old Church at Jamestown, a testament to the enduring legacy of the first permanent English settlement in the New World. Established in 1607, the church stands as a symbol of the resilience and determination of those who dared to venture into the unknown and forge a new life in the American wilderness. This print, produced in 1907, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history that continues to shape our understanding of the United States and its people.
