Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae orientalis by Jacob de Bondt, alias Jacobus Bontius (1592-1631), a distinguished Dutch physician who came to Batavia (now Jakarta) in Java in 1625 and lived there until his death. His book was written in Java and published in Amsterdam in 1658. He claims in it that he saw, apparently in captivity, anthropomorphic hairy bipeds, termed by him Homo silvestris, (i.e., Forestman, Man of the woods), one of which, a female, he drew a picture of and describes in detail.

Interest drawing back in 1500 to 1600's. And with Roger Patterson's Patty show the breast and scoffers think Roger bother to sew them on the suit.

There are more Hairy folks like that through the years. I lost my saved link to something called White. He has over 300 pictures of Hairy folks back then.
And also on Pearl's forum do not know if it is still up. Has not been there in coon's age.
