Scene in the great chief Powhatan's village. Sir Thomas Dale desired to have Pocahontas’ sister for his wife. He sent Ralph Hamor to ask Powhatan for his youngest daughter's hand in marriage. Unfortunately she had already been promised to another chief. Great village scene with a hunting scene in the background. A Very fine impression on a full sheet of German text.
