Prichard - 7 Native American Aquatint Engravings
This historical aquatint is from James C. Prichard's The Natural History of Man; Comprising Inquiries into the Modifying Influence of Physical and Moral Agencies on the Different Tribes of the Human Family. The work was edited by Edwin Norris and published by H. Bailliere in London in 1855.
The work featured portraits of native people around the world. It was Prichard's intention to establish that the human race began as all dark-skinned. While his view modified some in his research, he still concluded the human race was all of one species and family. Prichard's work became an important foundation for modern ethnological science.
Paper Size ~ 5 3/4" by 9 3/8"
