There are no actual images of Madame or Andrew Montour, but this print of an Indian male and female offers some clues as to what they may have looked like. Their brightly colored trade blankets and musket reflect their familiarity with the colonial world while their hairstyles, jewelry, moccasins, and leggings are indicative of their native identities.
