233-246. The Incas of Peru.
A collection of fourteen paintings in oil on canvas, bearing inscriptions designating the name and succession of each monarch. They are said to be the original pictures from which the portraits of the Incas were engraved for the work of Herrera—"Historia general de los Hechos de los Castellanos," etc., published at the beginning of the 17th century (1601-15), and reproduced in the edition by Barcia in 1726-30. This series of the Incas, as given by Herrera, differs from that of Garcilasso, in the addition of Vrco (241), who is said to have reigned only eleven days, and the omission of Yupanqui, the son of Pachacutec (242).
Presented by Frederic de Peyster, April 1, 1873.
