All the images of Uxmal in Brasseur de Bourbourg, "Essai historique sur le Yucatan et description des ruines de Ti-Hoo (Mérida) et d’Izamal", Vol. 1, pp. 18-64, and "Rapport sur les ruines de Mayapan et d’Uxmal au Yucatan (Mexique)", Vol. 2, pp. 234-288, in Archives de la Commission Scientifique du Méxique. 2 vols. Paris: Imprimerie Impériale, 1865. The drawings reproduced below are initialled "HB" and attributed by the author to a "M. Bourgeois". I have scanned these images from a copy in the Brigham Young University Library, with appreciation. On this web site, the quoted captions are literal translations of the French captions.
