"Beautiful presentation of the illustrations from Durán's well-known work. Editor's introduction presents a brief physical description of the illustrations, as well as a biography of Durán and his work, but high quality reproductions of the illustrations themselves, along with descriptive captions, dominate the work"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
