Item Details
Description
Heading:
Author: Stephens, John L.
Title: Incidents of Travel in Yucatan
Place Published: London
Publisher:John Murray
Date Published: 1843
Description:

2 volumes. xii, [9]-459; xvi, [9]-478 + 4 ad pp. With 64 engraved plates from drawings by Frank Catherwood, including 2 folding panoramic frontispieces; 4 maps and plans, 1 of them folding. 22x13 cm (8?x5?"), original brown cloth decorated in gilt, rebacked with original spine strips laid on. First English Edition.

Following Stephens' publication of Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan in 1841, he set out to undertake a more concentrated examination of the latter region, resulting in the present work.

Like his previous effort, the most remarkable aspect of the work is the important series of drawings made by the artist Frederick Catherwood, revealing to the world's eyes the wondrous architecture, statuary, idols, tablets, bas reliefs, and other creations of the ancient Mayan civilization.

Condition
General wear and rubbing to boards, corner tips worn, chipping to spine strips; hinges starting, scattered toning and foxing; overall very good.
