“In the spring of 1971, and some fifty-thousand photographs ago, Bill Frej’s journey visually documenting the known Maya kingdom began; culminating with the volume herein, Maya Ruins Revisited: In the Footsteps of Teobert Maler. As a Chronicler of History world-wide (perhaps not unlike Herodotus, the Father of History), Frej has created an enduring, practical bridge between established Maya history/scholarship, and, thanks to recent technological advancements, the newly or soon-to-be-discovered Peyton Wright Gallery/Publishing is honored and grateful for the privilege of accompanying Bill through this enduring volume, and sharing the journey with all.”
