In the 1940s the Laboratory of Anthropology commissioned Louie Ewing to produce several series of outstanding examples of prehistoric and historic Native American art from the museum's collections and other Southwestern sources. Each series typically included prints hand-printed and SIGNED by Ewing in limited editions of 500 copies or fewer which were distributed exclusively to members of the Laboratory of Anthropology. While the "Masterpieces of Primitive American Art" and "Modern Masterpieces of American Indian Art" series are occasionally found in the marketplace, the "Masterpieces of Maya Art" series is a rarer companion to his better-known series. Ewing was known for his pioneering work in serigraphy and created vibrant, accurate reproductions using the silk-screen process. "A Maya City" and "The Corn God" reproduce key examples of ancient Maya art and architecture as hand-printed serigraphs (silkscreens) with Ewing's characteristic technique, are signed by Ewing and are suitable for framing.

The Corn God sculpture from Copán is in the American Museum of Natural History, New York.…
