Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts a Spanish Corregidor [Magistrate] hosting a dinner with lower-class people. The Corregidor is illustrated on the far left of the image drinking out of his cup. The word corregidor is written on his armchair. There is writing on the Corregidor’s arm which reads, brindes [...] senor curaca [toast to you, senor curaca]. A curaca was an official in the Inca nobility. The two men sitting on the left side of the Corregidor are identified by having mestizo and mulato written on their hats. The indigenous man on the far right of the image is identified as yndio tributario [tributary Indian]. There is writing on his arm that reads, apo, muy sino, noca ciruiscayqui [Lord, I am here to serve you]. There is also a child depicted in front of the table who appears to be serving the table. The author criticizes the Corregidor for dining with lower-class people as he believed people should dine with those of their own status.
