EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Paris Codex, an ancient Mayan manuscript depicting Mayan astrology. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the intricate details and symbolism found within this historical artifact. Dating back to the 19th century, this German School litho is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Julius Hart's "Geschichte der Weltlitteratur" (History of World Literature) published by Neumann in approximately 1894. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Mesoamerica. The image portrays an amalgamation of astronomical knowledge, literary prowess, and artistic finesse that defined Mayan civilization during the postclassic period. Through their meticulous observations and calculations, Mayan astrologers developed complex systems for understanding celestial movements and their impact on human affairs. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece, we are transported to a time when astrology held great significance in guiding daily life decisions. The zodiac signs depicted here provide insight into how Mayans perceived themselves within the vast cosmic order. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Mexico's pre-Columbian history but also highlights the scientific methods employed by ancient civilizations long before modern advancements were made. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans sought answers about our place in space and astronomy. With its fusion of artistry, literature, science, and history - all captured beautifully through Bridgeman Images' lens - this print invites us to explore both our past
