notes:
The city is shown as the artist imagined Tenochtitlán before Europeans arrived, but with European-type houses and churches and men on horseback or herding sheep. The image is derived from Carol Allard, Orbis habitabilis oppida et vestitas, Amsterdam 1681, who in turn derived his view from the Hernán Cortés map-view of Tenochtitlán. Thomas Gage, an English Dominican friar, returned to England after several decades in Spanish America, became a Protestant and a principal advisor to Oliver Cromwell.
