notes:
|
This image is derived from Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 2, pt. 2, plate 18, and describes the widows of men killed in warfare who petition the chief for their livelihood and to avenge their husbands. The background image is derived from Theodor de Bry's America, Pt. 2, pt. 2, plate 17 and describes hermaphrodites who are shunned by the natives, but used to carry supplies and victims of warfare, wounded, sick, or dead, either on their backs or on litters made of reed mats. The artist may be Bernard Picart, 1673-1733, a French painter, draughtsman, and engraver, who also worked in the Netherlands.
