EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Uxmal ruins in Yucatan, Mexico. The image captures crouching figures above Chac nose, adorning the entrance of the Chenes Temple and Adivino Pyramid. Taken by Augustus Le Plongeon in the 1870s using collodion photography techniques, this particular print was created in the 1880s. The sculptures over the doorway of the Sanctuary-westside are a sight to behold, showcasing intricate details and craftsmanship that speak volumes about Mayan artistry. On the verso of this print, an inscription written by Maude Alice Blackwell sheds light on its historical significance - it relates to the downfall of the Can dynasty. As we gaze upon this duplicate print today, we are transported back in time to witness these ancient structures standing tall amidst a backdrop of lush greenery. The photograph not only captures their grandeur but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural brilliance. It is truly remarkable how photographs like these allow us to explore and appreciate cultural heritage from different eras. This image invites us to immerse ourselves in history while marveling at Uxmal's rich past.
