Drie verschillende voorbeelden van de lokale bevolking van de Straat Magellaan, het eiland Capul in de Filipijnen en Nieuw Spanje (Midden-Amerika), 1599-1600 1601 - 1646

This 17th-century engraving by an anonymous artist depicts three indigenous people from different regions, highlighting the diversity of cultures encountered by European explorers. The first figure is a man from the Strait of Magellan, the second is from Capul Island in the Philippines, and the third is from New Spain (Central America). This print provides valuable insight into early European perceptions of indigenous populations. The figures are portrayed in a simplified style, but the details of their dress and accessories offer clues about their respective cultures. This print is a good example of early European depictions of the "other" and is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
