notes:
These woodcuts of hands with type-printed labels were used as mnemonic devices to teach the concept of the Ten Commandments. The Huastec or Guasteca people of the province of Vera Cruz are tribes of Maya stock who were isolated from the rest of the Maya before the coming of the Spanish and whose language and culture developed separately from the Maya.
