EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Pyramidal Building and Fragment of Sculpture at Copan" takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient Maya civilization. This illustration, originally featured in John Lloyd Stephens' renowned book "Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan" beautifully captures the grandeur of the Pre-Columbian city now known as Copan. In this vivid color lithograph by Frederick Catherwood, we are transported to the heart of western Honduras, near the Guatemalan border. The image showcases a pyramidal building adorned with intricate carvings and architectural marvels that stand as a testament to the greatness of the Classic era Maya kingdom. As our eyes wander across this mesmerizing scene, we cannot help but be awestruck by the fragment of sculpture displayed prominently amidst these ancient ruins. It serves as a reminder of an artistic tradition that has endured through centuries, telling stories from a distant past. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into history but also invites us to ponder upon humanity's ability to create enduring monuments. The remnants left behind by civilizations long gone continue to fascinate and inspire us today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images and their preservation efforts at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, we can appreciate this remarkable piece without any commercial constraints or limitations.
