Palenque in the Visitor Rush
1891–1902
About this volume
At the end of the nineteenth century, Palenque entered a new phase. Volume VIII charts the shift from adventurous travel accounts toward systematic fieldwork, comparative study and increasingly precise documentation.
Central to the volume is Alfred Percival Maudslay’s extensive photographic and architectural record. Discussions of inscriptions, hieroglyphs, collections, surveys and competing interpretations show how Palenque became embedded in the emerging disciplines of archaeology and Americanist studies.
