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] on the right side of the engraving dressed in traditional European clothing. He is illustrated looking over to the man on the left side of the image who has his hands and feet shackles and his legs through stocks. This man’s name is Don Cristobal de Leon, and the author explains that he was imprisoned and tortured by the Corregidor for refusing to give him indigenous peoples for laborious work such as, transporting goods, weaving, and spinning yarn. There is script written in the centre of the image which is the dialogue of the Correigedor. It reads, warcuscayqui galera-man carcoscayqui [I’ll send you to the galleys]. The writing on the stocks is Don Cristobal’s dialogue which reads, runarayco cay sepo-pi nacarisac [for my people I shall suffer in these stocks].
