Note 1064 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

These have been the subject of an elaborate folio, thought, however, to be of questionable value, Die Steinbildwerke von Copân und Quiriguâ, aufgenommen von Heinrich Meye; historisch erläutert und beschrieben von Dr. Julius Schmidt (Berlin, 1883), of which there is an English translation, The stone sculptures of Copán and Quiriguá; translated from the German by a.d. Savage (New York, 1883). It gives twenty plates, Catherwood’s plates, and the cuts in Stephens, with reproductions in accessible books (Bancroft, iv. ch. 3; Powell’s First Rept. Bur. Ethn. 224; Ruge’s Gesch. des Zeitalters; Amer. Antiquarian, viii. 204-6), will serve, however, all purposes.
