[Aztlan] Maya, Aztec monument casts

[Elaine Day Schele]

Hola Listeros,

Its good to know that the Peabody is looking after these and they have been 
retained, despite their bulky storage needs. The article tells us that some 
of the casts (or maybe all) are over 100 years old.  I don't see where it 
states the names of the individual/s who made them, or did I miss it 
somewhere?  I was aware that Maudslay made many casts of monuments, but they 
were not made from plaster.  Does anyone out there know?

Elaine
