Codex Fejérváry-Mayer : manuscrit Mexicain précolombien des Free Public Museums de Liverpool (M 12014)
A facsimile of a pre-Columbian Mexican divinatory almanac, the Codex Fejérváry-Mayer, edited by Eduard Seler and printed in Paris in 1901 for scholars of Mesoamerican writing and religion. Its pages are grids of painted gods, animals and day signs in flat red, green, blue and ochre, with dotted number bars along the edges, offering a designer a ready system of bold geometric figures and limited earth-toned palette.
