Editor's Notes
- John White ca. 1585 watercolor British Museum
- Captain John Smith, based on an engraving done in 1616.
- n this chromolithograph credited to the New England Chromo. Lith. Company, ca. 1870, Pocahontas saves the life of John Smith. The scene is idealized and relies on stereotypes of Native Americans rather than reliable information about the particulars of this historical moment. There are no mountains in Tidewater Virginia, for example, and the Powhatans lived not in tipis but in thatched houses. And the scene that Smith famously described in his Generall Historie (1624) did not take place outdoors but in a longhouse.

- In his engraving The abduction of Pocahontas (1619), Johann Theodor de Bry depicts a full narrative. Starting in the lower left, Pocahontas (center) is deceived by the weroance Iopassus, who holds as bait a copper kettle, and his wife, who pretends to cry. At center right, Pocahontas is put on the boat and feasted. In the background, the action moves from the Potomac to the York River, where negotiations for a hostage trade fail and the English attack and burn a Native American village.

Rasmussen and Robert S. Tilton, Pocahontas: Her Life and Legend. Richmond: Virginia Historical Society, 1994. 35.) Rasmussen and Tilton say that this is a lithograph of a painting by Robert Matthew Sully, which, in turn, was a copy of the so-called Turkey Island portrait of Pocahontas that Ryland Randolph, a descendant of Pocahontas, acquired in England. And they point out that the figure of Pocahontas here "was invented to provide an alternative image" for the "rigid, formal, and Europeanized" 1616 van de Passe figure. This lithograph would later appear famously in McKenney and Hall 1844. Sully did three later paintings of Pocahontas in the 1850s. The Turkey Island portrait (Turkey Island was the Randolph home) was in bad shape and disappeared. http://digital.lib.lehigh.edu/trial/pocahontas/images.php?id=26 [lithograph; painting]

- [Goodrich, Samuel G.] By the Author of Peter Parley's Tales. "Pocahontas." Lives of the Celebrated American Indians. Boston, 1843. 169-89. This Goodrich, of the family of publishing Goodrich's represented in this archive, began the widely popular Peter Parley books for young people in the 1820s and wrote many of them. The preface indicates that the purpose of this book is to correct the "misrepresentations" and "deep prejudice," confirmed by evidence of their current wasted condition, that characterizes knowledge of the Indians. His account of Pocahontas here is of quite generous length, of quite generous praise (the rescue is the "most striking and dramatic incident in the whole history of the North American Indians"), and ends with this paean: "The name of Pocahontas adorns the brightest page in the history of the natives of America. In whatever light we view her character, either as maiden, a wife, or a mother, she is equally entitled to our respect and admiration. Heroic and amiable, constant and courageous, human, generous, discreet and pious, she combined in an extraordinary manner the virtues and perfections of both savage and civilized nature. The union of so many qualities honorable to the female sex and to the human species, should never be forgotten, in forming our estimate of the human race."

- The "Sedgeford Hall Portrait" (location: King's Lynn Town Hall, Norfolk, UK), is an oil on canvas portrait in the American School[1] by an unknown artist circa 1830. It depicts Pe-o-ka, wife of the Seminole chief, Osceola, and their son.[2] It was once believed by many to be a portrait painted from life of Pocahontas and her son, Thomas Rolfe.
