"General View of Kabah (Yucatan)" is a lithograph created by Frederick Catherwood, an English artist and architect renowned for his detailed illustrations of the ruins of the Maya civilization. This particular work is part of a series of lithographs that were produced as a result of Catherwood's expeditions to the Yucatán Peninsula in the early 19th century, alongside the American explorer John Lloyd Stephens. The expeditions aimed to document the then-little-known ancient Mesoamerican ruins.

The lithograph depicts the archaeological site of Kabah, located in the Puuc region of the Yucatán, and is known for its elaborate and intricate architecture, including the Codz Poop (Palace of the Masks), which is adorned with numerous depictions of the rain god Chaac. Catherwood's work is significant for its meticulous attention to architectural detail, capturing the grandeur and complexity of the Maya ruins at a time when such structures were largely unknown to the Western world.

Published in the 1840s, "General View of Kabah (Yucatan)" and other works by Catherwood were instrumental in introducing the Western audience to the sophistication of Maya architecture and art. These images were later included in the influential travelogue "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan" by Stephens and Catherwood, which played a crucial role in the study and appreciation of Maya civilization. Catherwood's lithographs are celebrated for their artistic quality as well as their historical and archaeological significance, providing an invaluable visual record of the Maya ruins before later restoration efforts and the impact of modern development.
