Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. The top of the image depicts Spanish parish priests collecting a child and taking them away from their native community to go and live in a parish where they receive religious instruction and suffer punishments. The author explains that children were taken from their homes around the age of five and leave at seven. One man is depicted carrying the child on his back while the priest on the right is holding a whip. The bottom of the image depicts the indigenous children living in the parish and wearing long cloaks as they sit and pray. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, muchachos de la doctrina de seis anos que no pase a mas [boys of the doctrine at six years old].
