Plate 147 from "Atlas Novus Terrarum Orbis Imperia." Title cartouche (top left) replete with imagery representing New World wealth and products: tobacco, sugar, animal skins, fish.

The nude female Indian holds a calumet while pointing to the title, here depicted on a buffalo hide.

In the background, native workers, being directed by Europeans, are seen laboring to extract ore from the side of a hill. A naval battle scene adorns the bottom right.
