CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: Oeconomie Mexiquaine, Fig. III [The management of Mexican domestic affairs]

Aztec or Nahuatl glyphs or picture writing representing the education of a young native American Aztec man and the marriage of a young native American Aztec woman. The upper part of the image represents the choice a father must make between general education or preparation for the priesthood for his son. The bottom part of the image represents the marriage of a young woman to a man in a ceremony involving tying their robes together, burning incense, and eating food. "Oeconomie" is an archaic French word, which originally referred to the government of a family or community, from which the distinct modern meaning of the word "Economy" has evolved, relating to the production and consumption of goods and services or a country.
