"Captain Smith rescued by Pocahontas, 1607" is a notable 19th-century engraving by D.G. Thompson, based on an original work by Asa Coolidge Warren. This piece of art captures a legendary moment in early American history, depicting the dramatic rescue of Captain John Smith by Pocahontas, a Native American woman who was the daughter of Powhatan, the paramount chief of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tsenacommacah, encompassing the Tidewater region of Virginia. This event is said to have occurred in 1607, during the early years of the Jamestown settlement, the first permanent English settlement in North America.

Asa Coolidge Warren, an American artist known for his detailed and historical scenes, created the original work that Thompson's engraving is based on. Warren's contributions to American art in the 19th century were significant, capturing moments of historical importance and cultural encounters with a keen eye for detail and emotion. D.G. Thompson, the engraver, skillfully translated Warren's original artwork into a detailed engraving, allowing for wider dissemination and appreciation of this historical scene during a period when such engravings were a primary means of sharing visual narratives.

The scene depicted in "Captain Smith rescued by Pocahontas, 1607" has become iconic in American folklore and history, symbolizing themes of bravery, peace, and the complex relationships between European settlers and Native American peoples. However, it is important to note that the historical accuracy of this event has been the subject of debate among historians. Some view it as a factual occurrence, while others argue it may have been a symbolic act misunderstood by Smith, or even a narrative fabricated by him or others.

This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of a pivotal moment in American history but also reflects the 19th-century American and European interest in romanticized depictions of Native Americans and the early encounters between Native peoples and European settlers. "Captain Smith rescued by Pocahontas, 1607" remains an important work for its artistic merit and its role in shaping the cultural memory and historical narratives of the United States.
