So this is a Japanese drawing of French people? Interesting that they still give them Japanese style eyes. I'm guessing that's down to artistic habit.
The eyes are somewhat wider than in depictions of Japanese, but stylistic habits are hard to break.
It's also interesting how much thicker they make the eyebrows for non-Japanese, as well as their facial hair. I suppose they were trying to be accurate (or stylistic) of hairstyles at the time.
