Created by the talented French School in the 18th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the daily life and transportation methods of indigenous people. The focal point of this image is an Indian gracefully navigating through water on a sealskin raft. The skillful depiction showcases their mastery over nature's resources as they utilize traditional materials for their boat construction. A detailed diagram accompanying the illustration provides insight into how these rafts were meticulously crafted.
