Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts an indigenous captain who was in charge of rounding up workers for the mines. If a worker fell ill, the captain would abuse his ability to charge the natives for hiring replacement workers. The captain is illustrated on the right side of the image handing money over to another man who is holding a card in his hand. The card reads, zedula del alquil [rental card]. The large caption at the bottom of the image reads, que los capitanes de todas las dichas minas deste rreyno cobre de los trauajos de los yndios de cada prouincia y se lo lleue y pague en la dicha prouincia a cada yndio. Porque no le gaste y lo lleue todo a su muger y hijos, porque se le paga en chicha o uino y pan. Y ancí no tiene de qué pagar tributo [The captains of the mines of this kingdom collect from the labour of the natives. Because the workers brings everything to his wife and children they are paid in either chicha, wine, or bread.]
