notes:
Image title taken from running title. Text describes native Americans living on an island discovered by Christopher Columbus. Columbus's account was influenced by cultural images of the monsters that lived outside of Europe's familiar borders. Marco Polo wrote of a cruel race of dog-headed people who lived on an island in the Indies, as did Sir John Mandeville in his popular travel accounts. This woodcut was later published in Amerigo Vespucci's account of his first voyage, Carta maritima, Strasbourg, 1530.
