Off all the artists who have called Santa Fe Home, Gustave baumann is among the most beloved. For nearly five decades beginning in 1918, the renowned printmaker cultivated friendships and other art colonists that were full of the colourful, artistic, humorous, small town flavor brought to life in this delightful collection of holiday cards the artists made for each other and their families. B.j.O. Nordfeldt, Ernest Blumenschein, Will Shuster, Doel Reed, Willard Nash and John Sloan and many more join Baumann in the Christmas and New Year greeting cards assembled here that range from satirical and whimiscal to humorous and hopeful, with commentary about the current state of the world or the artist's place in the world. Woodcuts, phot-engraving, lithography, etching-the hand-drawn, hand-painted and hand-coloured cards show off the personalities of the artists and how the events of the world around them touched their lives in personal, often bemused ways. Drawn from the Ann Baumann Trust as well as museum and private collections, the cards will be part of an exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of History curated by Jean Moss and Palace of the Governors Press director and printmaker Thomas Leech.

This volume illustrates the history of the Lone Star State through color plates of sixty-four historic Texas maps from the Marty and Yana Davis Map Collection, Sul Ross State University, Alpine, and includes ten original essays written by noted historians. Going to Texas is a catalog that will accompany the exhibition of the Davis Map Collection to ten museums throughout the Southwest over a period of two years. It will begin in Dallas at the Hall of State with the Dallas Historical Society and conclude at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. The maps range from the earliest sixteenth-century maps of New Spain through early settlement, the Republic and statehood, and into the twenty-first century. These objects are not only historical documents but also served to promote settlement or another aspect of Texas, to chart transport lines, and to guide the military. The earliest maps demonstrate cartography as an art that only centuries later evolved into a science. The accompanying essays cover the Spanish exploration, the Louisiana Purchase and the Texas borderlands, empresario settlement, the Republic of Texas, the Trans-Pecos, statehood and the Confederacy, the end of the nineteenth century, the Mexican wars, and Texas in the twentieth century. They provide the historical context in which the maps should be viewed. The maps are presented not only as historical artifacts but also as representations of culture, art, politics, and the great trends of industrialization and westward expansion. They reflect much of the American movement toward Manifest Destiny and the creation of the myths of "The West." The collection serves not only to illustrate Texas history but alsoAmerican and European cultures over the centuries. Both the map collector and the amateur will benefit from reading this catalog. The Center for Texas Studies at TCU is designed to celebrate all that makes Texas distinctive. It is housed in AddRan College of Humanities and Social Sciences, where various disciplines and programs can act in concert to foster and nurture the essence of Texas, History is, of course, central, but Texas literature, anthropology, ethnography, politics, religions, philosophy, and design and textiles all represent elements that are a part of the mosaic of Texas.

This work offers buyers, sellers, and collectors an easy-to-use, one-volume source of information for these bird and quadruped prints of John James Audubon. It contains obscure references, where the author, Bill Steiner, has surveyed the contemporary market-place. Addressing one of the more complex aspects of print collection, the text clarifies the task of distinguishing the octavio prints of the successive editions of Audubon's ""Birds of America"" (1840-1871) and ""Quadrupeds of North America (1849-1870). It describes the publication histories of each edition since the first, offers information about printers, engravers, and subscribers, and provides practical information on price histories, accessibility, and preservation.
