STIERLIN (Henri) - Lot 259

STIERLIN (Henri) Fribourg, Office du Livre, “Architecture universelle” series, circa 1970. A comprehensive volume devoted to the great civilizations of pre-Columbian Mexico. In it, Henri Stierlin presents the major Mesoamerican archaeological sites—from the Olmecs to the Aztecs, including Teotihuacan and the Toltec cultures—through a wealth of photographic material and an accessible historical overview. The book focuses particularly on monumental structures, sculpted decorations, pyramids, and ceremonial complexes that bear witness to the sophistication of Mexico’s ancient cultures. The author’s remarkable photographs offer both a scientific and aesthetic perspective on these major world heritage sites.
