notes:
Text describes how the king of the Brazilian tribe who had captured Hans Staden became ill and then how other villagers began to sicken and die. The survivors, thinking that not killing Staden allowed them to live, resolved not to eat their prisoner.Theodor de Bry and his sons issued a series of books on voyages to America in fifteen parts between 1590 and 1634. In 1631, Gottfried (a printer who had worked on the de Bry volumes) issued this one-volume condensation of all the voyages. He reused many of the original plates from the original volumes, but supplemented them with new ones.This image is a copy of the engraving in Theodor de Bry, America, pt. 3, p. 39 (08922-15), but is here reversed.
