Dise figur anzaigt uns das Folck und Insel die gefunden ist durch den christenlichen Kunig zu Portigal oder con seinen Underthonen [This Figure Shows Us the People and Island Discovered by the Christian King of Portugal or His Subjects] Hand-colored woodcut, [Germany, 1505] "The people are thus naked, handsome, brown, well shaped in body, their heads, necks, arms, private parts, feet of men and women are a little covered with feathers. The men also have many precious stones in their faces and breasts. No one also has anything, but all things are in common. And the men have as wives those who please them, be they mothers, sisters, or friends, therein make they no distinction. They also fight with each other. They also eat each other even those who are slain, and hang the flesh of them in the smoke. They become a hundred and fifty years old. And have no government."

Behind her, a joyous group dances around a liberty pole topped by a Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty inspired from by caps of freed Roman slaves. The text is propped against a palm tree, which symbolizes wealth. At the left, a man, representing feudal rights, lies prostrate under a dead tree that has been struck by a bolt of lightning.
