Have you ever wanted to boat along the shores of Guatemala? Travel along its rivers? Explore the Tres Zapotes archaeological site? Take that incredible journey with Alexander Wetmore, ornithologist, curator, and former Secretary of the Smithsonian, with his 1936 photo album. This unique collection of images was taken during Wetmore's expedition trip to Guatemala and Honduras in 1936, and offers a unique view into the region's natural landscapes and his process of collecting bird specimens.
