Hardcover. New York , McGraw-Hill, 1st, 1968, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, large folio, 159 pages, index, 60 beautiful tipped-in color plates of ancient Mexican sites after photographs by Irmgard Groth. Original gilt-lettered burgundy cloth in original color pictorial dust jacket that has a small chip to top of spine. The author of this book, Ignacio Bernal (1910 - 1992), was an eminent Mexican anthropologist and archaeologist. Bernal excavated much of Monte Alban, originally starting as a student of Alfonso Caso, and later led major archeological projects at Teotihuacan. In 1965 he excavated Dainzu. He was the Director of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology 1962-68 (at the time of this publication) and again 1970-77. In 1965, he was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Bernal was awarded the Premio Nacional in 1969. He was a founding member of the Third World Academy of Sciences in 1983. This book includes 60 hand-mounted colour plates and 1 map (all framable); each chosen by Bernal photographed by Mrs. Irmgard Groth, a gifted photographer whose special field was Mexican archaeology. In these plates we see the extraordinary sculpture of the Omecs; the Pyramid of the Moon of Teotihuacan; the Maya temples of Palenque; the Pyramid of the Niches of Tajin on the Gulf Coast; the temples at the great city of Chichen Itza; the gold ornaments of the Mixtecs at Monte Alban; the temple carved by the Aztecs out of the Cliffside at Malinalco; and many other buildings and artifacts, the surviving testimonials - sometimes exquisite, sometimes aw-inspiring - to the greatness of a long-vanished culture.

Our art shelves gather used, rare and antiquarian titles spanning painting, sculpture, illustration and the lives of individual artists. You will find monographs, exhibition catalogues and richly illustrated studies, from J.G. Links on Canaletto to Terence Doherty's The Anatomical Works of George Stubbs.
Alongside the old masters, the collection reaches into American and wildlife art, including Mildred D. Ladner's William de la Montagne Cary: Artist on the Missouri River and J.F. Lansdowne's Birds of the Northern Forest. Editions range from later reprints to scarce first printings and cloth-bound hardcovers, with plates and reproductions that make many of these volumes collectible in their own right.
Because every book is used or rare, condition and availability vary from copy to copy, and each title is described individually. Order your copy online while it lasts.
