EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a significant moment in history - Harvard University's Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology's second archaeological expedition to Copan, Guatemala in 1892-1893. The image, captured by Edmund Lincoln using collodion photography techniques, showcases his deep connection with the ancient Maya ruins. In this particular shot, we see Edmund Lincoln leaning casually against an upright stele, exuding a sense of awe and wonderment. His relaxed posture suggests that he has spent countless hours studying and exploring these magnificent ruins. The cracked glass negative used to create this image adds a layer of intrigue and mystery, as if mirroring the enigmatic nature of the Maya civilization itself. The pencil inscription below the photograph provides us with essential details about its origin and context. It is part of Stella N. Copain's miscellaneous papers relating to the excavation of Maya ruins between 1880 and 1900. Each page is carefully numbered in pencil, emphasizing their significance within this collection. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the dedication and passion exhibited by individuals like Edmund Lincoln but also of our collective responsibility to preserve and understand our shared cultural heritage.
