AMERICA (The Four Continents)

Beschrijving

From the set of the Four Continents, here is the personification of sitting on the back of a huge phantasized armadillo. On the left background primitives hunting animals along with cannibals preparing their meal… On the right foreground Spaniards engaging battles with American natives. On the bottom four lines of Latin in two columnes:’Illa quidem nostris… praetendit AMERICA clavam.’ Signed just above the margin:’M. de Vos invent. / Adrian Collaert / scaps. et excud.’
