EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Smith rescued by Pocahontas" depicts a pivotal moment in American history. Created by Edward Henry Corbould in the 19th century, this black and white illustration transports us back to the early days of the United States of America. The scene portrays an intense encounter between Captain John Smith and Pocahontas, a Native American princess. As legend has it, Smith was captured by her tribe and faced imminent death. However, Pocahontas intervened at the last moment, saving his life with her bravery and compassion. Corbould's skilled hand brings this historical event to life with intricate details and powerful emotions. The contrasting tones of black and white add depth to the image, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. This engraving is part of a larger collection called "The History of The United States of America" by Charles Mackay. It serves as a visual representation of one chapter in America's complex past - a story that intertwines cultures from both sides of the Western Hemisphere. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our shared history but also how individuals can bridge divides through acts of kindness and understanding. It stands as a testament to human connection amidst tumultuous times.
