Summary: Very Nice Indeed
Comment: Frederick Catherwood's career as an artist has been dominated by the magnicent drawings and paintings that he made of Mayan art and architecture while accompanying archaeologist John Lloyd Stephens . For decades this was the only view of that civilization that most people had. Even today they still are impressive. Bourbon gives us not only a biography of the artist but wisely chose to put the book into a large format. The result is that the reader can appreciate Catherwood's work (which the book is profusely filled with) even better. Coupled with John Lloyd Stephens "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan" (available in very inexpensive editions) one can expierence the thrill of discovery that both men felt as they uncovered the lost Mayan cities of the Yucatan jungles. A feast for the eyes
of the first visions of a vanished world.
