Commentary | In Barataria Island, governor Sancho, armed and tied between two planks (they should be shields), observes several men fighting with swords and torches.
Drawing and engraving are acceptable as a whole, but poor in details (smoke, architecture perspective...). |
Notes | 1 - Same plate first used for Amsterdam: Willem van Lamsveld, 1696.
2 – Bad copy after Savery’s plate (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657). |
