Collecting Mesoamerican Art before 1940
The untold chronicles of the looting and collecting of ancient Mesoamerican objects. This book traces the fascinating history of how and why ancient Mesoamerican objects have been collected. It begins with the pre-Hispanic antiquities that first entered European collections in the sixteenth century as gifts or seizures, continues through the rise of systematic collecting in Europe and the Americas during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ends in 1940—the start of Europe’s art market collapse at the outbreak of World War II and the coinciding genesis of the large-scale art market for pre-Hispanic antiquities in the United States. Drawing upon archival resources and international...

Presents a fictionalized account of the reign of the archduke of Austria, Maximilian von Hapsburg, as emperor of Mexico.
The Last Emperor of Mexico

As he turns to face the firing squad, his last words ring out under the cloudless sky: 'Long live Mexico, long live independence.'The execution of Ferdinand Maximilian is the climax of one of the most extraordinary stories in history.

The answer is a tale of operatic proportions, sweeping across continents from the 1848 European revolutions to the civil ...

Finalmente, tras múltiples vicisitudes y contratiempos, el cadáver del difunto Emperador mexicano fue recuperado y devuelto a Viena, donde hoy descansa en la Cripta Imperial d...
Ein Kaiser unterwegs
Nur knappe drei Jahre herrschte der osterreichische Erzherzog Ferdinand Maximilian als Kaiser in Mexiko. Maximilian war schon als osterreichischer Flottenkommandant viel- und weit gereist. Auch in seinem Kaiserreich Mexiko ging er wiederholt fur langere Zeit "auf Fahrt". In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird nachgewiesen, dass der Kaiser mit seinen Reisen eminent politische Ziele verfolgte. Er, der von Mexiko, wie man ihm immer wieder zu Recht vorwarf, viel zu wenig wusste, wollte nicht nur Land und Leute kennen lernen, sondern auch vor Ort regieren. Schon auf seiner ersten Reise unternahm er einen liberalen "Staatsstreich", wie er dies zugespitzt bezeichnete. Wahrend der zweiten Reise widmete er ...
