Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of Captain John Smith The Rolfe portrait is said to be still in existence, in the possession of descendants of that family in England. The photograph herewith given is taken from Pocahontas and Her Descendants, by Mr. Wyndham Robertson, and was photographed from the original painting by consent of the owners at his request. It is evidently the original of the usual school history portrait, the differences being due to nearly three hundred years of engraving and re-engraving at second, third, fourth, and Heaven knows how many hands, until some of the existing results are too hideous for publication. The authenticity of the original is guaranteed by the engraving of it published in 1616. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
