Jean-Frédéric Maximilien de Waldeck (1766-1875)
In 1825, he was hired as a hydraulic engineer by an English mining company and went to Mexico. He explored the Pre-Columbian ruins of the country, living in Palenque between May 1832 and July 1833. In 1834, he was hired by Lord Kingsborough to travel to Uxmal and make drawings and architectural reconstructions. In 1838, Waldeck published Voyage pittoresque et archéologique dans la province d'Yucatan pendant les années 1834 et 1836 (Paris), a volume of illustrations of Mérida, Yucatán and Maya ruins, including those at Uxmal.
