EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Head of Itzam Na, Izamal, Yucatan, Mexico" takes us on a journey back to the year 1844. The talented artist Frederick Catherwood skillfully captures the essence of this colossal mask in stunning detail. The image transports us deep into the heart of the Yucatan jungle, where ancient Mayan civilization once thrived. This powerful sculpture represents Itzam Na, a revered deity in Mayan mythology associated with hunting and jaguars. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we can almost feel the presence of these skilled hunters from centuries past. The intricate carvings on the mask reflect their deep connection to nature and their reverence for Itxamna. This lithograph not only showcases Catherwood's artistic prowess but also serves as an archaeological treasure that sheds light on Mesoamerican culture. Its discovery during the grand tour era further adds to its historical significance. Now preserved in a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of pre-Columbian artistry. Let it serve as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and ignite our curiosity about civilizations long gone.
