Pocahontas, a daughter of the Powhatan leader, is shown throwing herself over John Smith to save him from clubs raised by her people, a scene drawn from Smith's own account of his capture in December 1607, after the Jamestown colonists had settled along the James River. Historians still debate whether the rescue happened as Smith described it, but the story became one of the most repeated episodes of early Virginia history. Prints like this one were popular in the 19th century, when the image helped turn a contested encounter into a symbol of colonial origins and of cross-cultural friendship.
