1844 Catherwood

All the illustrations of Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, and Labná in Frederick Catherwood's folio volume, Views of Ancient Monuments in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan (London: F. Catherwood, 1844). Prints in this volume were made under Catherwood's supervision and based on his highly accurate drawings done on site 1839-42. In contrast to the previous publications of his drawings, however, these prints (chromolithographs) were glamorized and, in some cases, the architecture was straightened and slightly reconstructed. The images on this web site were scanned from 35mm slides I have taken of the copy in the Library of the AMNH (RF-13-K).
