Description: Three men are shown in a dugout canoe. An Indigenous man in the front of the canoe uses a long pole to maneuverer the boat in the river. Another Indigenous man stands in the rear of the canoe, looming over a colonist who kneels in the center of the boat (according to the title, he is a Frenchman named Pierre Gamble). The Indigenous man holds a small axe raised over the colonist’s head. A fire burns in the center of the boat, in front of the colonist. This illustration is identical to the one found on page 133 of Frankfurt 1591, but colored.
