Image Title:
Indigène de la Californie (A native of California)

Note:
“Nous nous bornerons à mettre sous les yeux du lecteur (fig. 306) le portrait, d’après une photographie, d’un indigène de la Californie.
Ce que nous ne pouvons nous empêcher de faire remarquer à propos de ce type d’habitant indigène, c’est que les Californiens ont la peau tellement brune ou rouge-brune qu’elle parait noire.” [Figuier and Regamey, p.570 – 71]

“We will restrict ourselves to put under the eyes of the reader (fig. 306) the portrait, according to a photograph, of a native of California.
What we cannot prevent ourselves from pointing out in connection with this type of indigenous inhabitant, it is that the Californian ones have the so brown or red-brown skin which it appears black.”
