Description

This image depicts a Spanish traveler riding horseback in colonial Peru to a royal inn called a tambo. He is illustrated covering his head, neck, and upper body with clothing to protect himself from the hot Andean sun. He is sitting on an embroidered blanket on the horse’s back. The Spaniard’s African slave is riding behind him performing his duties as his muleteer. He is illustrated holding a whip in his right hand as he guides three mules to walk behind the Spanish master. The animals are decorated in feathers and bells. There is dialogue written above the Spaniard which reads “Apamoy mitayo, perro alcalde. Hau! Uanochiscayqui. Hau!” [Bring it on mayor, you dog. Haw! I’m going to kill you. Haw!]. The African slave has dialogue written above his head as well which reads “Andar, Francico, hau!” [Come on, Francisco, haw!].
