Description: Spanish commander Hernando de Soto and Inca Emperor Atahualpa (Atabalipa) meet in Peru. Hernando de Soto is on horseback, as are a few of the Spanish soldiers who accompany him, while most of the group is on foot. The Spaniards are armed with pikes/spears, swords, and muskets. Atahualpa stands in front of de Soto’s horse. He wears a short-sleeved tunic, loincloth, and beaded necklace, and carries a scepter fashioned to look like the sun. A large group of Inca warriors stand behind him, mostly armed with spears and bows, with a few individuals carrying shields. Most of the Inca men wear loincloths, and some wear feathered headdresses. This image is identical to one found on page 5 (119) of Frankfurt, 1596.
