EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ancient Aztec Idol, taken during an ascent of the Cofre de Perote in Mexico back in 1875. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding to its mystique and allure. The photograph captures the intricately carved stone sculpture with great detail, emphasizing the skill and craftsmanship of its ancient creators. The idol's features are beautifully preserved, showcasing a glimpse into Aztec artistry from centuries ago. As we delve into the image's historical context, we find that it was featured in Illustrated Travels by H. W. Bates - a publication by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. This artifact holds immense archaeological significance as it sheds light on pre-Columbian civilizations and their rich cultural heritage. The photograph offers a window into Mexican history while also highlighting the occupation of archaeology itself. It serves as a testament to Henry Walter Bates' dedication to his job as he documented this extraordinary find during his travels. With its timeless appeal and profound artistic value, this print is not only a visual delight but also an important historical artifact worthy of admiration for generations to come.
