notes:
Text describes the llama and how it was used for the transport of ore in Peru. When overburdened the animals would sit down, and neither beatings nor kind words would make the animal get up again. If they ran away they had to be shot to recover the ore they were carrying.This image is derived from Theodor de Bry, America, part 9, [part 3], plate 4, and follows the special title page for Ontdekking van West-Indien, vlijtig ondersoft, en naauw-keurig aangeteekend, door Joseph d'Acosta ... , Leiden, 1706. This collection of voyages consists of 127 parts, each having a special title page, separate pagination, and register. The voyages covering the period from 1246 to 1696 are arranged chronologically.
