Estampas del Popol-vuh, 1943
File — Folio: 1
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection contains ten original color lithographs by Carlos Mérida, published in a limited edition folio by Graphic Art Publications, Mexico, in 1943. The prints are based on the text of the Popol Vuh, a document written in the 16th century, in Quiché and Latin, telling the mythological history of the Maya Quiché lineage. Mérida intended the prints to be reflective of the text, and to retain the spirit and poetry of the original source. Each print is accompanied by a passage from the Popul Vuh (in Spanish and English), and are tied together in their focus on two characters: Hunahpu and Xbalanque.
Included is a written introduction by the artist, written in Spanish and English. Prints are 12.25 x 16.25 in.
