The savage is in general as much above the child in the representation of the rider as he is in that of the animal apart. Yet traces of similar confusion do undoubtedly appear. Von den Steinen says that his Brazilians drew the rider with both legs showing. Andree gives an illustration, among the stone-carvings (petroglyphs) of savages, of the employment of a front view of the human figure rising above the horse with no legs showing below (Fig. 48 (_a_)).[278] Even among the drawings of the North American Indians, in which the horse is in general so well outlined, we occasionally find what appear to be the germs of confusions similar to those of the child. Thus Schoolcraft gives among drawings from an inscription on a buffalo skin one in which we have above the profile view of a horse the front view of a man, with arms stretched out laterally while the legs are wanting.[279] A clearer case of confusion is supplied by the following drawing, also by a North American Indian, in which the lines of the horse’s body cut those of the rider’s legs (Fig. 48 (_b_)).[280] ----- Footnote 277: _Cf._ Ricci, _op. cit._, Fig. 21 (p. 27). ----- Footnote 278: _Op. cit._, pl. 2; _cf._ pl. 6, where a drawing from Siberia with the same mode of treatment is given. Footnote 279: _Op. cit._, pt. iv, pl. 31 (p. 251). Footnote 280: From the _Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology_, 1882-83, p. 206. The common appearance of both legs in these Indian drawings means, I take it, that the rider is on the side of the horse. ----- [Illustration: Fig. 49 (_a_).] [Illustration: Fig. 49 (_d_).] [Illustration: Fig. 49 (_b_).] [Illustration: Fig. 49 (_c_).] [Illustration: Fig. 49 (_e_).]
