John Lloyd Stephens' account of his second exploration of the ruined remains of the Maya civilization in the Yucatan. The author first published "Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan" in 1841. This work is the author's more thorough exploration of the ruins of the Yucatan. The Preface explains that the pages herein "describe, as the author has reason to believe, the most extensive journey ever made by a stranger in that peninsula, and contain the account of visits to forty-four ruined cities, or places in which remains or vestiges of ancient population were found. The existence of most of these ruins was entirely unknown to the residents of the capital; - but few had ever been visited by white inhabitants; - they were desolate, and overgrown with trees. For a brief space the stillness that reigned around them was broken, and they were again left to solitude and silence. Time and the elements are hastening them to utter destruction." Illustrated by 120 extraordinary engravings by Frederick Catherwood, the British illustrator and archaeologist who accompanied Stephens on his expedition. A classic travel narrative of the Yucatan, and one which would spur popular and scholarly interest in the area.

First Edition
FIRST EDITION. With 120 engravings, many full-page, plus 2 large folding frontispieces and folding map. Original publisher's cloth, gilt-decorated front covers and spine, head and foot of spines worn; interior foxed (though not nearly as bad as many copies). First edition of the travels of John Stephens and William Catherwood to Central America starting in 1839. This popular work provided the first glimpses of Mayan culture to the public. Based upon the detailed descriptions of Mayan archaeology and the superb illustrations based upon Dagerreotype views and drawings by Catherwood, all future works on the Mayan people were based upon these accounts. Stephens' first journey, originally a diplomatic visit on behalf of President Van Buren, was cut short by his illness, and his first work on Central and South America was published in 1841. This, the narrative of his second trip, became the inspiration for a generation of travelers to the area. They account for over forty ruins, including illustrating imposing temples, pyramids, and other structures built by a nearly extinct Mayan population. Catherwood, an English artist, here set the standard for archaeological illustration.
