Condition:Outstanding vintage condition... see photos...Captain Jack brings you a fabulous RARE VINTAGE 1920S ENGLISH SEDGEFORD HALL PORTRAIT OSCEOLA / POCAHONTAS POSTCARD ... The "Sedgeford Hall Portrait" located at King's Lynn Town Hall, Norfolk, UK, is an oil on canvas portrait in the American School by an unknown artist circa 1830. It depicts Pe-o-ka, wife of the Seminole chief, Osceola, and their son. _It was once believed, as this postcard claims, and by many to be a portrait painted from life of __Pocahontas and her son, Thomas Rolfe__._ In 2010, researcher Bill Ryan, while reviewing magazine archives on the Seminole Indians, found a black-and-white drawn version of the painting in the 1848 edition of _Illustrated London News_ identifying the portrait as "the wife and child of Osceola, the last of the Seminole Indian chiefs." Osceola himself was of mixed race (Creek Indian and English), which explains the European features of the child. The portrait is now generally accepted as being his wife and son, though some questions still remain. Many printed and Internet sources, however, still refer to this painting as a portrait of Pocahontas and Thomas Rolfe. _VERY DIFFICULT POSTCARD TO FIND_... _Card is in very good vintage condition with lightly worn corners & wear and paper fade consistent with age.
