Views of Ancient Monuments in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan

This collection of prints consists of reproductions of many of the drawings made in Mexico and Central America by Catherwood during his famous explorations with John L. Stephens. The colored plates are beautifully done, and each is of a size (16½ x 20½ inches) suitable for framing. Catherwood’s original introduction is included, as is a description of the monument on each plate. It is far too expensive for ordinary historians, though it would make a splendid Christmas gift for the rare Latin Americanist who has everything. The HAHR editors received the review copy on loan, and it was only with great reluctance that they returned it to the publishers.
