notes:
The allegorical figures probably represent Spanish colonies in Central America, such as Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama, owing fealty to Ferdinand VII.Ferdinand VII ascended to the Spanish throne in 1808 after his father's forced abdication. He reigned for a few months before he was made prisoner by Napoleon Bonaparte for five years. In 1813, he was restored to the throne and remained king until 1833. This plate is a detail from the larger engraving of a catafalque erected in Guatemala.Image placed horizontally on page.
