notes:
After the execution of Atahualpa (or Atabaliba), his brother, Manco, led a long siege to reoccupy the Inca capital of Cuzco. Francisco Pizarro sent an army of 500 men, under the command of Diego de Almagro and Gómez de Tordoya, which successfully defended the Spanish occupation of Cuzco. This image of Cuzco is derived from the Braun and Hogenberg engraving (which includes a depiction of Atahualpa [or Atabaliba] on his litter before the Temple of the Sun). This work was published by Theodor de Bry and is derived from the third part of Girolamo Benzoni, Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 6. German. Imprint information from colophon.
