With approximately 200 plates, most of which are extra-illustrations on copper & steel, some mezzotints, some etchings, predominately portraits, dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries, and including 'Portrait of a Native American Woman, half-length directed to the right, wearing a feather headress and holding a quiver with arrows', as catalogued by The British Museum.
