Description: Antique print titled 'Bewohner von Diemensland, Habitans de terre de Diemen'. This print depicts inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land, Tasmania/Australia. Originates from 'Naturgeschichte und Abbildungen des Menschen der verschiedenen Rassen und Stamme nach den neuesten Entdeckungen und vorzuglichsten Originalien.', by Heinrich Rudolf Schinz.
