Description: This is the first image depicted in the author’s chapter where he discusses cities, towns, villages, and provinces in colonial South America. This image depicts the city of Santa Fe in Bogota, Columbia. There are two trees on both sides of the image at the foreground that appear to encapsulate the large city of Sante Fe within them. The caption near the base of both trees reads, “Santa Fe de Bocotá, ciudad tiene gouernador” [Santa Fe in Bogota, the city has a governor]. The large caption at the bottom of the image reads, “[E]n las dichas ciudades, uillas, aldeas que no cirua ningun yndio [ni] yndia ni muchacho que ciruan en las minas a su magestad y que [...] cirua de los negros y negras un millon y sus hijos mes[tizos] y cholos, mestisas, mulatos, zanbahigos y mulatas que ay [m]uchos millones y que se ciruan entre ello como en Castilla” [in those cities, towns, villages that no Indians circulate the mines to their majesty and that a million blacks and their mestizo, cholo, and mulato children and they serve as they do in Castile].
