European women like the one in this picture is all European men saw and know in their lifetime, which was one of several explantations of how European scholars explained African women in much different way and influenced their attitudes of trying to convert and take advantage of them

This was an example of what African women looked like in 1800s, which was much different than what a previous picture of an European woman looked like. The differences between both women brought European men to describe African women as much different than European women

When reading the article Early European Views of African Bodies, there was a thought developed; the power of no social media in the past greatly shaped how European men perceived African women. Contemporarily, we use social media or the internet to increase some kind of prior knowledge of what other parts of this world's people, culture, or even appearances may look like, whereas, in the past, European men had zero prior knowledge of what to expect when traveling to Africa. I wonder if European men got some kind of access to the internet or social media, would they react to the way they reacted in the article? Not just that, there are frequent comparisons between European and African women showing the limited knowledge of European men because European women were all they saw in their lifetime. This thought is something we all need to keep in our mind when reading the perceptions of European men in the past, despite how they framed African women in some wrong ways that led to stereotypes.

The evidence here was one of example how limited European men's knowledge was of what people looked like outside of Europe. for instance, European men were perplexed to see the strength and stoicism of African women because they had the limited knowledge of how European women were, as they described annoyingly weak, caused them to labeled African women as something else

The cultural shock of the difference between European women and African women caused European men to think that African women were property and something they could make money off. European men did not understand that cultural differences are not a bad thing and something they should not convert to their expectations or make money off, which influenced their attitude of thinking they could take over their self-autonomy. The attitude greatly influenced African women to be exploited with slave and sex trades to benefit European men.
