notes:
The city is probably shown as the artist imagined Tenochtitlan was 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. Image placed horizontally on page.
