Willem Kieft and Algonquian Chief Smoking Peace Pipe
An illustration depicting Willem Kieft, Director-General of New Netherland, and an Algonquian chief smoking a peace pipe, surrounded by other colonial figures and Native Americans. The scene appears to be set near a fortified area, possibly a Dutch settlement, with buildings and a flagpole visible in the background. A body of water with a ship is also seen in the distance.
