EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph takes us back to a significant moment in history, showcasing the wedding of Pocahontas and John Rolfe at Jamestown, Virginia in April 1614. The image beautifully captures the union between two cultures as Pocahontas, a Native American princess, stands beside her English groom. The scene is filled with symbolism and cultural details. Pocahontas dons traditional Native American attire adorned with feathers, while John Rolfe wears armor and sports a beard that reflects his English heritage. They stand before an early colonial church of England, signifying the merging of their beliefs and traditions. Surrounded by witnesses including colonists and members of both tribes, this historic event represents hope for peace between the indigenous Powhatan tribe and the English settlers. A minister or priest officiates the ceremony as Mr. and Mrs. Rolfe exchange vows. The lithograph itself was created in 1867, offering us a glimpse into how this historical event was depicted during that time period. The attention to detail brings life to each character present – from soldiers guarding the couple with halberds to young boys observing with curiosity. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of love transcending boundaries - not only between individuals but also across cultures - leaving an indelible mark on American history.
