Description
-
Three Indigenous men stand in the foreground beside a tall leafy tobacco plant. Two of the men hold tobacco leaves rolled up, one is lighting the end of the roll of leaves and the other has already lit his and is smoking. The third man reaches for a leaf from the plant. Two of the men carry bows, and the one on the left wears a necklace, in the middle a cape, and to the right a round feathered adornment. In the background closer to the village, several structures of which can be seen, another man carrying a bow smokes from a rolled leaf. This image is identical to one on page 927 of Paris, 1575 (Chaudière).
