Description
English: Engraved portrait of Matoaks or Rebecka, the Native American woman better known as Pocahontas, made in 1616 during her trip in England, where she died shortly after. It is the only known representation of her made during her lifetime.

It is believed that Simon van de Passe (1595-1647), the Dutch engraver, sketched her likeness in an actual sitting, then created the engraving for the Virginia Company to use in their publicity campaign. This is the closest we'll ever get to knowing what Pocahontas looked like. […] The clothes that Pocahontas is wearing in the portrait are meant to show how well integrated she was into English life in order to reassure investors that the natives could be made to adopt English ways.

Notes This 1616 portrait was probably first issued as a separate print. It is sometimes said to have been published in the original edition of two works, the collection of engraved portraits called Baziliωlogia, A Booke of Kings (1618) and Captain John Smith's Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England and the Summer Isles (1624), but there is evidence that it was part of neither, though it was later manually inserted in some copies of the original editions that exist today.
