A native American chief dressed partly in European clothes. In one hand he holds a war club and in the other a smoking hawk (an instrument that is both pipe and tomahawk). He wears a tricorn or bicorn hat, a medal on a ribbon, a wampum belt, and a European (perhaps military) coat. Includes palisaded building.

notes:
|
The British and French, realizing the esteem with which Indians held the pipe, began to manufacture metal trade hatchet pipes or tomahawk pipes in the eighteenth century. This book is the prospectus for a five volume work with same title published in Paris, 1795-1796.Grasset de Saint-Sauveur was born in Montreal, Canada, but spent his life in Europe. He published and illustrated numerous works on the native costumes of many peoples.
