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 coastal town of Camaná in Peru. The town is depicted close to the shoreline and has two large trees in front of it. There are four boats in the water and two seals swimming close to the shore. The town is arranged in a cluster of buildings that forms a square in the centre. There are two people standing in the square and another two people who appear to be sword-fighting. There are two winding paths that lead to the city. There is one person walking towards the city on the left path and two people walking on the path on the right, with one of those people walking behind a dog. The author explains that this town, because it was close to the water, was used as a port. The caption at the bottom of the image reads ”uilla” [town].
