The most complete collection of its kind--and quite possibly the most complete visual record of nineteenth-century Texas, period--Texas Lithographs is a gateway to the history of the Lone Star State in its most formative period. Ron Tyler assembles works from 1818 to 1900, many created by outsiders and newcomers promoting investment and settlement in Texas. Whether they depict the early French colony of Champ d'Asile, the Republic of Texas, and the war with Mexico, or urban growth, frontier exploration, and the key figures of a nascent Euro-American empire, the images collected here reflect an Eden of opportunity--a fairy-tale dream that remains foundational to Texans' sense of self and to the world's sense of Texas.
The author or coauthor of numerous works of visual history, Ron Tyler is the retired director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. He formerly served as director of the Texas State Historical Association, professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin, and editor of the Southwestern Historical Quarterly and The New Handbook of Texas.
