EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the ancient world of Mexican hieroglyphics. Taken from the renowned publication "Vues des Cordilleres et Monumens des Peuples Indigenes de l Amerique" by Alexander de Humboldt and Aime Bonpland, this engraving transports us back to 1810 when it was first published. The image captures the intricate beauty of these hieroglyphics, which were an essential part of Mesoamerican culture. The collaboration between Humboldt, a German naturalist and explorer, and Bonpland, a botanist, resulted in one of the most significant scientific expeditions to South and Central America during their time. Through their meticulous research and exploration, they uncovered invaluable insights into the civilizations that thrived before European contact. This particular print draws inspiration from the Codex Mendoza found in Vienna's Royal Library. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies within these primitive glyphs. They serve as a testament to the advanced knowledge and artistic prowess possessed by pre-Columbian societies such as the Maya. This photograph is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of our collective human story. It invites us to appreciate and understand different civilizations while igniting our curiosity about those who came before us.
