4to. Unbound sheets in gray board portfolio. 32 b/w photographic sheets, several with multiple images prefaced by approximately 50 pages of descriptive annotations in both Spanish and English. LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES. The first volume of a series written and illustrated by Boos on the ceramic sculptures which appear on the funerary urns of the Precolumbian Zapotec (Oaxacan ) Culture of southern Mexico. Plates and sheets are fine. Very good: the photographic plates are virtually pristine, with just a bit of toning to the binding edge of several of the descriptive pages. Covers fully intact but with browning to the fold-overs, some spotting and wear to edges, and spine, faded string tie.
