Description: This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru.

They are both illustrated wearing heavy layers as they were afraid it might be cold in the New World. The woman is dressed in a long gown with a cape over her shoulders that has a high collar. The man is wearing long pants, a high collared cape and a hat. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “el uso antigo” [the old style].
