Illustration of an Inuit

Watercolour drawing of an Inuit man wearing skin jacket, shorts and boots. The original image is associated with Frobisher’s voyage in 1576. This is some of the only evidence we have as to the meeting of the crew and the Inuit people. We only see the image, we still can’t hear his voice.
