The American Museum in Britain
Now through 28 October 2007
Dollar Princesses crossed the Atlantic as brides- Pocahontas, daughter of chief Powhatan, did the same almost 400 years ago.
Her story is told in the adjacent Map Room exhibition 'Atlantic Crossings' along with the histories of explorers, adventurers and would-be settlers who travelled in the opposite direction: Norsemen, Columbus, Cabot, and the colonists of Roanoke and Jamestown, Virginia, which in 2007 will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of its founding.
The exhibition will feature sixteenth-century maps and prints - some rare, some beautiful - from the museum's Dallas Pratt collection.
