Caption:
The Baptism of Pocahontas at Jamestown, Virginia, 1613, (1840). A 19th-century representation of Pocahontas (c1595-1617) being converted to Christianity before her marriage to Englishman John Rolfe. Pocahontas, a Native American princess, was baptised Rebecca by Anglican minister Alexander Whiteaker. She and the priest are depicted in white, symbolising the 'purity' of Christianity. Pocahontas came to London and was presented at the court of King James. Unfortunately, she fell ill on the return journey to Virginia and died before her ship had left the River Thames.
