Description:
The Inca king, Atahualpa or Atabaliba, holding a scepter in the shape of a sun is carried on a litter into a scene of warfare. A priest or monk with a crucifix approaches his litter while Spanish soldiers with cannons, guns or muskets, horses, and swords attack native soldiers armed with bows.

notes:
A monk named Vicente de Valverde confronted Atahualpa with a crucifix and a breviary. When Atahualpa asked how the Spanish knew what the teachings of God were, Valverde said the book spoke of them. The king took the book, turned the pages, said it did not speak of anything, and threw it on the ground. At this point, Pizarro and his men charged into the crowds which panicked and were slaughtered. Atahualpa was thrown from his litter and taken prisoner. 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.
