Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image demonstrates the mistreatment of indigenous peoples of Peru by Spanish travelers. The author explains that Inca way stations called tampu’s were turned into Spanish inns called tambo’s where Spanish travelers would misbehave towards the indigenous peoples. The Spaniard in the image is depicted kicking an indigenous man in the face. The indigenous man appears to be carrying luggage of the Spaniard.
