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. - Conspiracies

Here is a Pictish Man from the same artist
