Description
-
A group of Indigenous people commit suicide to escape the brutality of the Spanish colonists. Men and women hang themselves by the neck from trees, leap off a high cliff, stab themselves with spears and knives, drown themselves in the river, and ingest poison. Mothers and fathers also kill their children. This image is identical to one found on page 193 of Frankfurt, 1594, but colored.
