1671 Ogilby engraving of native Americans melting gold and silver. 10" x 15-1/2". This is a page from a 1671 book by John Ogilby entitled America that was a translation of Arnold Montanus' book Die nieuwe en onbekende Weereld (Amsterdam, 1671), and this page shows 7 natives melting precious metals in pots while a train of llamas waits in the background, undoubtedly in reference to labor under the Spanish at the time, excellent condition with fully readable text.
