Teoberto Maler was an archaeologist from the late 1800s and early 1900s who did a lot of work examining and photographing Mayan and MesoAmerican temples and artifacts. He was against removing artifacts from a site and became disgusted with the practice of shipping artifacts to rich houses in Europe. Teoberto made a meager living sellling his photographs and lecturing.
