Description
-
An Indigenous group from Newfoundland (as identified by the author) prepare to go to war. The group marches in a procession with large drums made from animal skins stretched over a wooden frame and bones as drumsticks. One man is carried on the shoulders of several others and holds a ceremonial weapon or other object. Most members of the group are barefoot and wear tunics, several have capes tied around their necks, and others wear headdresses of feathers or leaves. This image is identical to one found on page 1013 of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier), and in Thevet’s Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (page 164 of Paris, 1557 and page 164 of Paris, 1558).
