EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic Alice Dixon Le Plongeon in the 1890s. With her piercing gaze, she exudes an air of curiosity and determination that defined her life as a photographer, amateur archaeologist, traveler, and author. Alice Dixon Le Plongeon embarked on an extraordinary journey alongside her husband Augustus Le Plongeon. For eleven years, they immersed themselves in the vibrant cultures of southern Mexico and Central America. Their mission was to document and study the ancient ruins of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. In this half-length portrait, Alice sits gracefully with a scarf draped around her shoulders. Her brunette hair frames her face delicately as she gazes into the distance. The photograph not only showcases her beauty but also hints at her intellectual prowess. During their time exploring these mysterious ruins, Alice and Augustus faced numerous challenges. The origins and history of these ancient cities were shrouded in obscurity at that time. However, their dedication to unraveling these secrets led them to become pioneers in Mayan archaeology. As we admire this remarkable image captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, we are reminded of Alice's profound impact on our understanding of Mayan civilization. Her legacy lives on through this timeless photograph – a testament to both her adventurous spirit and scholarly pursuits.
