The antiquities of Manabi, Ecuador; a preliminary report
A 1907 archaeological report by Marshall H. Saville, published in New York, documenting antiquities excavated from Manabi province in coastal Ecuador for a scholarly audience. The photographs are sepia-toned, flat, close-up views of weathered carved stone fragments, showing worn relief figures and stone blocks with rough, pitted surfaces that a designer could draw on for textures of eroded stone, ancient carving, and monochrome archival photography.
