Description: “Treasures of Ancient Mexico from the National Anthropological Museum” By: María Antonieta Cervantes. Published by: Museo Nacional de Antropología, Mexico City. This is the official English language guide to the collections of the main historic museum in Mexico that features art, artefacts, and other material from thousands of years of Mexican history. The emphasis is on the Maya culture, & also on the period of contact with the Spanish, although there are tons of details about other civilizations, cultures & events as well. The book has an excellent and informative text from the Editor/Curator, that puts the photos of the artefacts into historic and cultural context. This is the type of book you would purchase at the gift shop to guide you along your tour. But if you're like most of us and are unlikely to visit in person, this book gives you a virtual tour, including items not always seen by the tourist. A fascinating resource for the tourist, art historian, the fan of pre-Columbian Central America, and so on! The book is a softcover printed on glossy pages. It measures about 7 x 11 inches, and is just packed with colour photos and illustrations. It is 96 pages long, and was published by the Museum in 1978. The book is used, but is in good condition – there is no writing, no stains or soiling, no missing or torn pages, and it still has a tight spine & clean cover. Top bidder should add $6.99 postage to Canada, or $12.99 to the USA. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
