This image is depicted in the author’s chapter where he discusses cities, towns, villages, and provinces in colonial South America. The left side of the image depicts the indigenous pucara de chile [fortress of Chile] and the right side depicts the Spanish fuerte de cristiano del rrey [Christian fortress of the king]. The image depicts a battle between the indigenous population of Chile against the Christian Spaniards in Santa Cruz. There are three native soldiers standing atop their fortress under a small hut. The indigenous fortress displays large-stoned Incan architecture. The Spanish fortress depicts a cluster of European styled buildings which forms a square in the centre. There is a Spanish soldier standing on the edge of the fortress. At the base of both fortresses are Chilean native soldiers and Spanish soldiers preparing to battle with their spears. The word batalla [battle] is written in between both armies. A mountainous Andean landscape is illustrated in the background with birds flying over top.
