Kort beskrifning om provincien Nya Swerige uti America : som nu förtjden af the Engelske kallas Pensylvania

This woodcut depicting Indians and Swedes engaged in trade was carved by Tomas Campanius. He never visited America but created the image from descriptions written by his grandfather who lived in New Sweden from 1643 to 1648. The inaccuracies of this image include circular headdreses, the depiction of war at point blank range, palm trees and three varieties of dwellings.
