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. by User25000

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.

Why do my links to his works get deleted? Is it because it’s an auction house and automatically gets deleted?

Edit: I think that must be it because they are selling sites. Worth looking up his name plus “at auction” you can find a ton of his work.

Many of the etchings are pretty gruesome. Still it shouldn’t be left out of history. These aren’t mythical illustrations, he was documenting what he saw and even wiki says this... although a debatable source no doubt... historians also seem to take his work as documentary. Interesting how wealthy people will buy his work at auction for a very high price but we hear nothing about these encounters in education. Edit: documenting what voyagers saw

Interesting no one talks about it in history class.... I linked more of his work below. Yeah cannibalism was definitely part of their society.
