Content introduction:
This book records the American explorer Stephens and the British painter Gasewood's visit to the Mayan civilization sites in Central America. The story of Stephens and Frederick's brush made the West focus on Maya, a mysterious lost civilization, and their work became the basis for all future studies of Mayan civilization.
In the book, Stephens vividly tells how Gartherwood insisted on painting with gloves on. How did two people walk into the vast jungle of Central America under the guidance of a guide and a rough and error-filled hand-drawn map? How did I spend fifty dollars to buy the land where the Copan Maya site is located, and whimsically wanted to transport it to the American Museum along the river; How to get the government's support for the investigation in a country with civil war?
This book is accompanied by several paintings by Garsewood, which describe this important expedition in detail.
