Description

 

Large decorative engraving showing Captain John Smith with his head bound to a large stone, with Pocahontas leaning over him, preventing Opechancanough from striking him with an elaborate metal weapon. Powhatan is standing directly behind Smith with his left hand holding a calumet, raised to stay the execution. A native standing to the left is identified as "Namontake." Another native is standing in the center background with two horses, leaning on the back of one that is marked with the design of a hand. He is holding a weapon. Standing behind Opechancanough is another native holding a large club. There is a cluster of natives, mostly women, in the background on the right.

The caption below the title describes the scene in both German and English.
