1838 Waldeck

All the images of Uxmal (there are no images of Kabah, Sayil, or Labná) in the first edition of Frédéric de Waldeck, Voyage  pittoresque et archéologique dan la province d’Yucatan (Amérique Centrale), pendant les années 1834 et 1836 (Paris: Bellizard Dufour et Co; Londres, J. et W. Boone, Bossages Barthes et Lowell, 1838). Reproduced from 35mm slides I have taken from a copy in the University of Cincinnati Library, with appreciation. On this web site, the quoted captions are literal translations of the French captions.
