EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a historic moment of Native American culture. The image showcases Chief Powhatan of Virginia, renowned as the father of Pocahontas. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut reproduction is derived from John Smith's account titled "The Generall Historie of Virginia. . " published in 1624. In this illustration, we witness an extraordinary meeting between Chief Powhatan and other tribal leaders within their village. The chief stands tall and dignified, exuding wisdom and authority. Surrounding him are traditional dwellings that form their ancestral home - a vivid reminder of their deep connection to the land. As council members gather around a crackling campfire, one can almost hear the echoes of discussions shaping the destiny of Jamestown colony in 1607. This artwork transports us to a time when North America was still untouched by modernization, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage and cultural significance preserved within these native communities. Through this vintage masterpiece created by John Smith himself, we gain insight into Amerindian history while paying homage to Chief Powhatan's legacy. It serves as a testament to our collective past and reminds us of the diverse tapestry that forms the United States today.
