EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up photograph showcases a page from the book "Antiquities of Mexico: Comprising Facsimiles of Ancient Mexican Paintings and Hieroglyphics". Created between 1830 and 1848 by Agostino Aglio, an Italian artist, this mid-19th-century masterpiece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Central America. The page, shaped in a typical folio format measuring 53.3x36 cm, features vibrant colors and intricate hieroglyphs that represent the traditional beliefs and language of ancient Mexico. The image captures the essence of antiquity with its colorful depiction of Mexican artwork. Each leaf on this facsimile is meticulously designed to preserve the authenticity and beauty of these ancient paintings. As we explore this close-up view, we are transported back to the early 19th century when Edward King Kingsborough commissioned Aglio to create this remarkable piece. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic form but also gain insight into traditional Mexican culture during that time period. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy left by our ancestors in Latin America.
