Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts a judge on the right side of the image robbing a noble indigenous man on the right side of the image. He appears to be taking a cloak from him. These judges were sent by Spanish mine owners to rob indigenous peoples of noble and lower status. The author criticizes the mine owners as they disrespected, abused, overworked, and took advantage of the indigenous peoples who worked in the mines. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “de las minas” [from the mines].
