Over het boek
To take comparative photos of the architecture required that photographic prints of the Le Plongeon photos at Chichén Itzá and Uxmal from archives be assembled, and brought to the sites for replication by photographing from the same distance, direction, and elevation. This book compares 26 photos of Chichén Itzá and 18 photos of Uxmal in Yucatán, Mexico to photos the author of the same architectural subjects in 1980.
