Note VI-23 — Chapter VI · ANTIQUITIES OF TABASCO AND CHIAPAS, RUINS OF PALENQUE.
Reading edition
Dupaix, p. 21, says that the stone is granite, the figures 11 feet high, and the sculpture in high relief. 'Peuplée de simulacres gigantesques à demi voilés par la végétation sauvage.' Morelet, Voyage, tom. i., p. 266. These figures, with the eastern side of the court, are represented in Dupaix, pl. xxiii-iv., fig. 29; Waldeck, pl. xiv-xvi. (according to a seated native on the steps, each step is at least 2 feet high); Stephens, pp. 314-15; Charnay, phot. xix., xx. My cut is a reduction from Waldeck.
