Notes: "This exhibit [in the Orientation Galleries at Dumbarton Oaks] invites visitors to embark on their own journey by weaving together three interrelated strands: first, [Robert Woods] Bliss's connection to the Maya world and his prescient avocation for collecting Maya art; second, the acquisition last year [2014] for the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library's Rare Book Collection of Catherwood's book of lithographs [Views of ancient monuments in Central America, Chipas, and Yucatan (1844)]; and, third, the meticulously observed photography of Professor Jay. A. Frogel, who has retraced Stephens and Catherwood's steps and recorded anew the vistas that these intrepid travelers captured in word and image. The superimposition of old and new imagery provides a fresh opportunity for us all to reflect on our perception and experience of times past."--Page 3.
