From America, 6th book, 1st part (1597), HAND COLORED! HAND COLORED!
Featuring Francisco Pizarro, Hernando de Luque (priest acting as agent for financial backer), Diego de Almagro (Pizarro's right hand man) in a Panama coastal scene with Spanish armed soldiers embarking with workings loading boats fro ships anchored just off the coast while sitting at a table discussing their upcoming expedition to PERU! The paper has some thin spots and some staining at bottom right edge. A very historical piece showing the conquering of the New World's mines and precious metals. Perhaps they knew of the riches they were ready to procure for these new lands.
There is some very minor foxing (not affecting the image), several small pinholes. PIRATE SHIPWRECK of PERU 1597 Large (12- 1/2 x 8-3/4~ image 7-3/8 x 6") GERMAN Copperplate - engraving by Theodore de Bry. Circa 1597 and HAND COLORED! 1
