Description:
|
|
Decorative map of the Atlantic showing the voyage of Hieronymous Benzo from Italy to the West Indies and back from 1541-56. The cartouche depicts a scene of violence between the Europeans and Native Americans with a mother holding her baby being accosted by a group of armed Europeans. Unusually for the period, the image is sympathetic to the plight of the indigenous population.
