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 city of Arequipa in Peru, which, according to the author, was founded by conquistador Francisco Pizarro. The city is difficult to see as it is covered in ash from the volcano that erupted. The volcano is depicted in the top left corner and is captioned with “Rebentó bolcán” [erupted volcano]. There are people visible in the town square. The author explains that many people perished in the volanic eruption, and that the city and sky was covered in ash for thirty days. The caption at the bottom of the image reads “ciudad” [city].
