John Smith NPG 4594

by Simon de Passe
A soldier and colonial governor, Smith sailed on the first English voyage to Virginia. Portraits frequently appeared alongside maps of territories discovered by explorers with inscriptions, as that noted here 'observed and described by Captayn John Smith, 1614'. This portrait, accompanied by a map of New England, shows him aged 37 in the year 1616 and may have been after a miniature.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
