Alfred Percival Maudslay (March 18, 1850 - January 22, 1931), British colonial diplomat, explorer and archaeologist. He was one of the first Europeans to study Mayan ruins. This picture was taken at Chichen Itza in 1889. He's got some serious sag in that hammock.

That's a nice hammock stand!
BTW... anybody else notice the picture of Oprah hanging in a hammock on the magazines in the grocery store line recently? She's apparently never been told to lay diagonally in a Brazilian...
This looks like an older setup but wouldn't mind havnig on my deck.
