A detailed wide shot illustration by john singer sargent of a very busy medieval market square in the rundown and rotting viking settlement in Brazil in the 1540's, where many of the buildings are on wooden stilts, and built in a viking style. Dozens of viking townsfolk shopping at stalls that sell all kinds of strange wares, outside, seen in the background are glimpsed the hilly jungle.
