Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a Spanish muleteer on the right side of the image with his indigenous servant standing in front of the mule. The servant is holding a whip as well as the mule’s reins. The mule in the centre of the image is depicted carrying six small children on its back. These are the children of Spanish parish priests who would have relations with indigenous women. The children are depicted being taken to the city of Lima. The author criticizes the actions of the priests as well as the Spanish muleteer who would have had connections to the priests for helping them transport their children.
