notes:
In retribution for European greed, native Americans along the coast of Panama are shown obliging the invader's craving for gold by pouring molten metal down their throats. This work was published by Theodor de Bry and is derived from the first part of Girolamo Benzoni, Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. This image is derived from one in Benzoni. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 4. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
