The fundamental principles of Old and New World civilizations : a comparative research based on a study of the ancient Mexican religious, sociological and calendrical systems
A scholarly 1901 study by archaeologist Zelia Nuttall, published by the Peabody Museum at Cambridge, Massachusetts, comparing ancient Mexican and Old World civilizations through religion, society and calendars. Its pictures are line drawings of Mesoamerican and Old World ornaments, discs, and carved motifs with numbered figures, showing circular designs, cross and star patterns, and feathered forms a designer could borrow for symbolic or ethnographic motifs.
