This lavishly illustrated volume recounts the adventurous life of Frederick Catherwood, the 19th-century English artist who discovered lost Mayan cities in the jungles of Central America and the Yucatan plateau. In 1839 Catherwood and his American companion, John Lloyd Stephans, were the first Westerners to view the immense terraces, fabulous temples, and elaborate palaces that had been inexplicably abandoned ten centuries earlier. Superbly illustrated by Catherwood, Stephen's lively travel diaries recounting their extraordinary archaeological discoveries were published in 1841 and 1843. Using these journals and his own extensive research, the author, Fabio Bourbon, has pieced together Catherwood's fascinating biography, which until now has been shrouded in mystery. Illustrating this handsome, large-format book are more than 200 engravings made from Catherwood's original drawings. Also reproduced is Catherwood's Views of Ancient Monuments in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan -- a rare color portfolio considered to be his best work. Catherwood's other adventures are also described -- his first trips to Europe and Egypt, his later expeditions to Central America, and finally his experiences in California. This intriguing book about an intrepid adventurer/artist will appeal to anyone interested in exploration, architecture, and archaeology.
我对这个类型的画册完全没有任何抵抗力,我最爱最爱的就是18-20世纪初,在照相机普及之前西方探险家和画家的那些手绘画集,尤其是那些过去不为人知的神秘地区的。之前买了苏格兰大卫罗伯茨的埃及和圣地画集,简直爱的睡觉都要抱着,也买了N个版本。而这本画集是弗里德里克到中美洲玛雅地区的画集,那时候玛雅的建筑被藤蔓缠绕,充满了神秘感,不像现在早已被修缮的焕然一新。不过他的绘画水平还是远逊色于大卫.罗伯茨的。
