'Maniere dont L'Yncas marie Ceux de son Sang', 1723. Manner in which the Incas marry those of their blood. Wedding scene in Peru. From "Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde", (Religious Ceremonies and Customs of All the Peoples of the World), by Jean-Frédéric Bernard, illustrated by Bernard Picart. Although Picart never left Europe, he relied on accounts by those who had. The book 'marked a major turning point in European attitudes toward religious belief and hence the sacred'.
