Description: This chapter of the book focuses on discussing the good government of post-conquest Peru that the Spanish viceroys maintained. This image depicts Don Andres, the marquis of Canete and third viceroy of Peru, sitting on the left side of the image. He is facing towards Sayri Topa Inca, an Inca ruler in the region of Vilcabamba. They are differentiated by their clothing, with Andres wearing traditional Spanish/European clothing while the Inca is wearing an embroidered shirt and traditional Inca regalia. The author explains that the Inca was well received by Don Andres and they became good friends and maintained peace between the Spaniards and the indigenous peoples. The caption below the image’s title reads, le rrecibio y le onrro y platico asentado el dicho marques y sayi topa en los reys de lima [the marquis received him and honoured him and spoke with him, both the marquis and Sayri Topa were seated in the Kingdom of Lima].
