34 What’s up with the depiction of native Americans? This book sold for just over $24,000 at auction. Interesting to look up this guys illustrations of Indians. This is of a native from Virginia. I believe his work is the first images of natives in south and North America.

He never went to the Americas. His paintings were done from descriptions by travelers.
That helps answer my question a bit. I guess one would have to delve more into the voyagers accounts and bios if available to find more info.
