Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Gemini Smith / Doubleday 1976-04-14 00:00:00 Binding: Hardcover VG. in VG dj dj in mylar 294 pages. Illustrated by illus. 4vo.

Hardbound. Etat : Very Good. 1st Printing. Description: Features 270 full color illustrations selected from museums and private collections. Accurate chronologies introduce each important era: the period of the mysterious Olmecs and their colossal sculptures at La Venta; the classic Maya culture of Yucatan and Chiapas; the early civilization of the Oaxaca Valley; the visions of paradise and the sacred ball game in the brilliant murals of Teotihuacan. This melding of text and pictures reveals the legends and realities of priests, kings, and gods such as Quetzalcoatl of the Toltecs; Eight Deer, Cacique of Tilantongo; and Huitzilopochtli, the blood-hungry god of the Aztecs -- just as they are portrayed in the rare picture /symbol codices. As Mexico moves from the ancient to t he modern world, you see the patriot priests Hidalgo and Morelos lead the disfranchised masses out of slavery toward independence; Benito Juarez, the Zapotec Indian who became president, foils Napoleon III in his bid to make Maximilian and Carlota emperor and empress. Then comes the drama of the storm that moved across all Mexico, the Revolution. We see its violence and aspiration in Posada's etchings and the murals and easel paintings by the masters of the modern renaissance: Oroaco, Dr Atl, Rivera, Siqueiros, O'Gorman and Tamayo. BINDING/CONDITION: brown patterned binding with large vignette in gilt; gilt spine text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket. bibliography, index. Photo endpapers. 4to (about 12.75 inches tall). 296 pages.…
