Description
-
This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts the imprisonment of the Inca emperor, Atawalpa Inca, after the Spaniards attacked and stole all the gold and silver they could take. Atawalpa Inca is illustrated sitting in a prison on the left side of the image with his hands and feet shackled together. There is a plate of food and water in front of him, but the author explains Atawalpa Inca would not eat due to the grief he had for the ransacking of his city and the capture of his wife. The soldier on the left is identified as the guarda [guard], who is illustrated watching and conversing with the Inca. There is a caption at the bottom of the image that identifies the location of the image as it reads, preso atagualpa en la cuidad de caxamarca [prisoner Atawalpa in the city of Cajamarca]. There is another description at the bottom of the image which reads, Atagualpa ynga dixo a don francisco pizarro que leyese un escrito, dixo que no sauia y dixo que leyse un soldado y leyo, dijo atagualpa … [Atawalpa Inca asked Don Francisco Pizarro to read him a letter, he said he did not know how to read and he told a soldier to read it, which he did. Atawalpa said …]. The rest of the caption is cut off.
