EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us on a visual journey to the ancient Maya ruins of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Peninsula. The image showcases a remarkable fish relief platform known as Venus, captured by Augustus Le Plongeon in 1876 using collodion photography. The intricate details of this archaeological wonder come to life through Le Plongeon's lens. The fish relief, believed to be a representation of Cay - the high priest - is prominently displayed on the wall of Cohs Mausoleum. Its delicate bas-relief design tells stories of an ancient civilization and their deep connection with nature. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves standing amidst these majestic ruins. The rich history and cultural significance that emanate from every stone leave us awe-inspired. Etched onto the verso of the mount is a handwritten note by Maude Blackwell, adding another layer of intrigue to this piece. Her words serve as a reminder that behind every artifact lies untold tales waiting to be discovered. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document. It invites us to explore not only its visual beauty but also encourages our curiosity about civilizations long gone. Let it transport you into the heartland of Mayan culture and ignite your imagination with its timeless allure.
