"Iroquois Family Arms and Ornaments" is an illustration by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French Canadian author, diplomat, and artist known for his ethnographic prints and writings. Created at the turn of the 19th century, this work is part of a larger collection that aimed to document the dress and customs of various indigenous peoples, as well as other cultural groups from around the world. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's illustrations are characterized by their detailed depiction of traditional attire and accessories, reflecting the European fascination with "exotic" cultures during the colonial period.

The illustration "Iroquois Family Arms and Ornaments" specifically portrays members of the Iroquois Confederacy, a historically powerful group of Native American tribes in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. The image is significant for its attempt to capture the material culture of the Iroquois people, including clothing, jewelry, and weaponry. However, like many ethnographic works of its time, it may reflect the artist's interpretation and the colonial perspective, potentially leading to inaccuracies or a romanticized portrayal of the subject.

Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's work serves as an important historical record, offering insights into the perceptions and representations of indigenous cultures by European artists during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is also a testament to the complexities of cultural exchange and the impact of colonialism on the documentation and understanding of non-European societies. The illustration is a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of ethnography, art, and the depiction of indigenous peoples in Western media.
