Contributions to North American Ethnology, volume 5, was published in Washington by the Government Printing Office in 1882, with contributions by Charles Rau, Robert Fletcher and Cyrus Thomas, for an audience of American archaeologists and ethnologists. Its pictures are plain line engravings of carved stone and Maya figures, showing spiral carvings, cup-marked stones and a seated carved figure, useful to a designer for their stark, incised linework and graphic patterns.
