notes:
Text describes the idols of Haiti or Hispaniola, present-day Haiti and Dominican Republic. Wolfgang Kilian (1581-1662), an Augsburg printmaker, is presumed to be the artist for all the images in this book not obviously derived from the Petits Voyages and Grands Voyages of Theodor de Bry. Honorius Philoponus is a pseudonym, probably for Caspar Plautius to whom this book is dedicated. Image placed horizontally on page.
