The first known European woodcut of Amazon natives was produced around 1505. The natives;two children, three men and four women appear to be relaxed and enjoying their food and each other. Three are chewing on human limbs "...a man [is] chewing on a severed arm (Hemming 1978, ???). The men hold arrows and bows. At a round table, a man is kissing a woman who holds a human leg. A large fire burns nearby. The dining table is shaded by a roof of logs from which hang a head and two other human limbs. The adults are crowned by huge feathers and have skirts of leaves. In the distance a European ship (name), its unfurled sails looming over the water, approaches. (Hulme 1986,2)
