Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Pocahontas NPG D5536

© National Portrait Gallery, London

published by William Richardson, after Simon de Passe

This is a version of the only portrait of Pocahontas made during her lifetime. The original print was produced during her stay in England from 1616 to 1617. She wears the fashionable clothes of a English courtier with a tall hat, lace collar, pearl earring and ostrich feather fan. Her appearance befits her presentation in London as an ‘Indian Princess’ and a ‘civilised savage’. The print is the source of numerous later depictions of Pocahontas, which proliferated as her fame grew.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
