EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Dresden Codex, a precious Maya manuscript dating back to 1901. Preserved in the Sachsische Landesbibliothek, the state library in Dresden, Germany, this codex is an unparalleled testament to Mayan literature written on bark paper.

It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Central American civilizations before European colonization. The religious significance of these writings is evident as they depict various aspects of Mayan spirituality and belief systems. Published as part of "The World's History: A Survey of Man's Record" by Dr. HF Helmolt in 1901, this print serves as a valuable historical document itself.
