Antique Print of Captives and the Great Temple of Vitsliputsli "Mexico"

About the Item

Three antique images on one plate. The first image shows a captive being flayed after he was killed, the second image shows a captive fighting against a Mexican priest. The third image shows the Great Temple of Vitsliputsli in Mexico City. This print originates from 'Naaukeurige beschryving der godtsdienst-plichten, kerk-zeden en gewoontens van alle volkeren der waereldt.', a Dutch edition or its French edition 'Ceremonies et coutumes Religieuses...' , by A. Moubach, 1727-1738 (French edition 1721-1725). An English edition called 'Ceremonies and religious Rites of the various nations of the known world....', appeared in 1733. It was the most elaborate history of world religion published up to that time. The plates in this work were adapted by B. Picart and others from various sources including de Bry.
