This very interesting engraved plan reportedly is from an ancient picture kept by D. Carlos Siquenza. The plan shows the road traveled between the mountains and the Lake (Mexico City). Filled with hieroglyphics, place names, and interesting notations, including Tzompanco - The place of the deaths head, Epcoac - A Burning Serpent, Quaulitepec - Mountain of the Eagle, Apan - Conduit of Water, Chalco - The place of the precious Stone, and many more. Images of human body parts, severed heads ceremoniously displayed further embellish the page. Blank verso. A most unusual engraving.
