About this work

A hand-colored engraving arranged as a grid of head-and-shoulders portraits, grouped under labels such as Asiatics, Europeans, Australians, Polynesians, Africans and Americans. The figures are shown in varied dress, headwear and body markings, with each type named in small lettering beneath. The print was drawn and engraved by John Emslie and published in London by James Reynolds in 1850.
