About This Item
NEW ~ Twenty-one illustrated articles originally published in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Scribner's Magazine, Century Illustrated Magazine, and Atlantic Monthly in facsimile. Dating to 1854-1895, they cover Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The scholarly introduction by Vargas highlights the influence of the developing "scientific" racism of the time on these authors and observes that the illustrations are as worthy of study as the texts. Cleverly printed on "old timey" paper. A remarkable collection of primary sources indeed. 570 pp. Notes. Bibliography. In English. A bend and minor chipping to bottom edge of back cover. Otherwise in excellent condition. In stock. Usually ships in 3 days.
