The print depicts a native man standing in front of his wife and children extending his hand to three pleading Europran men. In the distance along the horizon is a small raft along with a few other European men., The image is in decent condition as there are small foxing marks around the edge of the print and the bottom, and right hand, edges are a little torn., This image can be found in "Histoire Philosophique et Politique des Etablissement et du Commerce des Europeans dans les Deux Indes" . This image represents the experience of the first French explorers in Canada in the 1500s and their encounters with native people..
