EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient ruins of Mexico. Titled "El Caracol o Templo Masonico, Views Aztec Maya" it captures the essence of history and architectural marvels that have withstood the test of time. The focal point of this image is the observatory at Chichen Itza, known as El Caracol due to its unique spiral staircase within. The snail-like structure stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery and hints at the mysteries hidden within its walls. Dating back to 1882, this gelatin developing out paper print showcases Desire Charnay's keen eye for detail and his passion for capturing cultural heritage. The annotations on verso provide valuable information about the location and significance of this archaeological wonder. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into an era where civilizations like Aztec, Maya, and Zapotec thrived. We can almost hear echoes from their past as we admire these majestic ruins nestled amidst Yucatan's breathtaking landscape. Let this print serve as a reminder of our rich history and inspire us to explore further into these ancient cultures that continue to fascinate us today.
