EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Chichen Itza, where Alice Le Plongeon stands proudly in front of the east facade of Las Monjas Annex. The image captures her sense of adventure and curiosity as she explores the ancient Maya ruins in the Yucatan. Taken by Augustus Le Plongeon, a renowned photographer and archaeologist, this collodion print was created in 1873 using his innovative techniques. The cabinet card format adds a touch of elegance to this historical artifact, showcasing both its artistic value and documentary significance. Intriguingly, we find a note written on the verso of the mount by Maude Blackwell that mentions Alice Le Plongeon holding a rifle. This detail hints at their adventurous spirit and determination to uncover hidden treasures within these majestic ruins. The composition itself is striking; Alice Le Plongeon's presence against the backdrop of Las Monjas Annex creates a juxtaposition between past and present. Her confident stance reflects her deep admiration for Maya culture while also revealing her own role as an explorer and scholar. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded not only of Chichen Itza's architectural wonders but also of those intrepid individuals who dedicated their lives to unraveling its mysteries. Through images like these, history comes alive before our eyes, allowing us to connect with past civilizations and appreciate their enduring legacy.
