1843 Stephens and Catherwood

All the illustrations of Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, and Labná in the first edition of John L. Stephens, Incidents of Travel in Yucatan, 2 vols. (New York, Harper & Brothers, 1843; these images from a 1847 printing). These prints closely reproduce the highly accurate drawings done on site by Frederick Catherwood in 1841-42. I have scanned these from a copy in the University of Puget Sound Library, with appreciation.
