EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable story of Peter Williamson, a Scottish memoirist known for his captivity and sufferings. Created by Robert Cooper in 1821, this portrait depicts Williamson dressed as a Delaware North American Indian. Williamson's life took an unexpected turn when he was kidnapped and taken to North America at a young age. After eventually returning to Scotland, he embarked on a tour of both Scotland and England, assuming the persona of "Indian Peter" and donning Native American attire. The image showcases Williamson in full-length view, wearing an elaborate headdress adorned with feathers. His face is painted with intricate designs that further emphasize his transformation into an indigenous character.

Published in Henry Wilson's book titled "Wonderful Characters: Comprising Memoirs and Anecdotes of the Most Remarkable Persons of Every Age and Nation" this portrait serves as a testament to Williamson's extraordinary life journey. It also sheds light on the fascination that existed during the 19th century regarding unusual individuals who defied societal norms.
