Iowa Indians, at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, 1844. Native Americans on display in London: '...three chiefs, four "braves" or warriors, four squaws, a little boy and girl, and a "papoose" or infant. The appearance of the party in their romantic costume, and armed with tomahawks and other warlike weapons, is very picturesque. Their robes are covered with a profusion of brilliant ornaments, and the heads of the males...are shorn, with the exception of a crest of hair, to which is affixed a feather from the wing of the war eagle, and a variety of Indian bijouterie....'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
