Vtg B&W Snapshot Captain John Smith Monument Statue Jamestown Island VA 1931

This original B&W snapshot captures the imposing Captain John Smith monument statue standing on the historic grounds of Jamestown Island, VA. The composition focuses on the bronze likeness of the famous explorer, framed by the quiet, grassy landscape of the colonial site during the early 20th century.

Dating back to 1931, this vtg photograph offers a window into how this landmark appeared nearly a century ago. Collectors of Virginia history or early American commemorative monuments will appreciate the clear view of the pedestal and the rugged aesthetic of the statue. It is a tangible piece of 1930s travel ephemera documenting the legacy of the Jamestown settlement.

A classic view of the Captain John Smith monument from 1931.
