Even when Europeans aren't front and center, the presence is strongly implied - in this case, by the title of the card, the eyes facing the camera, and the crossed set of boots in one corner of the frame. This card is labeled "Palabre" (palaver); from Random House, a palaver is "a long parley, esp. one between primitive natives and European traders, explorers, colonial officials, etc."  Yes, Random House still uses "primitive."
