Item description from seller

First edition, 1913. Oversized folio volume from the Memoirs of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Volume VI. Herbert J. Spinden’s landmark early study of Maya art, originally developed from his Harvard doctoral research, examining the subject matter, stylistic development, chronology, architecture, sculptural monuments, decorative systems, and material culture of ancient Maya civilization. Illustrated throughout with extensive in-text figures, plates, and a folding map. Title page states: “With two hundred and eighty-six illustrations in the text, twenty-nine plates and map.” Folding map of the principal archaeological sites of the Maya area is present. Large folio format, approximately 14.25" x 11.5" x 1.5". Bound in brown cloth/buckram-style hardcover binding with gilt spine title and clear protective mylar covering. Binding is solid and intact. Expected age-related toning and paper mellowing throughout. Plates and folding map present. No loose pages observed. Some normal handling wear and edge toning consistent with age and format. Overall a Very Good copy of an important early twentieth-century scholarly Maya art and archaeology reference. A strong institutional, research, and collector copy, especially suitable for buyers interested in Maya archaeology, Mesoamerican studies, Harvard Peabody Museum publications, early Americanist scholarship, archaeological illustration, and pre-Columbian art history. Condition: Very Good. Oversized folio in brown cloth/buckram-style hardcover binding, likely later binding, protected by a clear mylar covering. Binding solid and intact. Expected edge toning and age-related paper mellowing. Plates and folding map present. No loose pages observed. Light exterior wear and surface rubbing visible beneath/through the protective covering, with mild age toning to page edges. A sound, complete-appearing scholarly reference copy of this substantial 1913 Peabody Museum volume. Seller’s Note: Offered for collectible, historical, bibliographic, and research purposes only.
