Description
-
This image is depicted in the author’s chapter where he discusses cities, towns, villages, and provinces in colonial South America. This image depicts the town of Mizque in modern day Bolivia. The city is arranged in a cluster of buildings that forms a square in the centre where three people are depicted walking. There are large coca and fruit trees illustrated surrounding the city where large birds are sitting atop of them. Two long winding paths are illustrated leading into the city where travelers with walking sticks are depicted walking towards the town. There is also a small dog walking behind one of the people on the path on the left side of the image. The author explains that very few people lived in this small city as many dangerous animals lived close by. The caption at the bottom of the image reads “ciudad” [city].
