Notes
Content: "Concerning the Mexicans Apparel, it is a sufficient testimony, that they are no way of the same original with the several barbarous Nations, that run up and down naked in New Spain: For the Inhabitants of Mexico went antiently Cloth'd in Cotton : on their Heads they wore a high Plume of red Feathers; about their Necks, over their Shoulders, Breast and Back, a kind of large Thorax of Feathers curiously pleited; each Arm adorn'd with Armlets, and their Middles girt with broad white Girdles full of red Streaks; in stead of Garters they wore Laces of Feathers, as also a little above their Ancles."--from America, being the latest and most accurate description of the Nevv VVorld... / collected from most authentick authors, augmented with later observations, and adorn'd with maps and sculptures by John Ogilby.
