EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ruins of Copan, Central America" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases the ancient ruins of Copan, located in present-day Honduras. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details and rich history that lie within. The ruins stand as a testament to the remarkable achievements of the Mayan civilization. Sculptured stones and sculptures adorn every corner, telling stories of an advanced society that thrived centuries ago. Our attention is captured by an altar stone at the center, exuding an aura of mystery and reverence. Facing each other with stoic expressions are two monoliths, their weathered faces revealing secrets lost to time. The compass-like structure they create symbolizes both direction and connection – perhaps representing the interconnectedness between past and present. As we explore further into this archaeological wonderland, square stones guide our path towards various points of interest. Each step unearths more remnants of a once-great city that flourished in what is now known as the Western Hemisphere. Through this engraving by English School artists for The Illustrated London News in 1864, we are transported across continents and centuries – reminded that even amidst ruins lies beauty waiting to be discovered.
