EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate layout of the San Francisco de la Espada Mission, an engraving created by American School in the 18th century. Preserved by the Dallas Historical Society in Texas, USA, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of this mission. Originally founded as San Francisco de los Tejas in 1690, this mission later relocated to the picturesque San Antonio River area. The engraving depicts various elements of this Christian site, including a church, sacristy, granary, convent, friary, and village. It also highlights features such as bastions and an aqueduct that were crucial for irrigation purposes. The image provides a fascinating insight into the architectural design and planning that went into creating these missions during California's missionary era. Despite being captured in ruins now, one can still appreciate their former grandeur through this detailed diagram. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when these missions served as important centers for religious activities and community life. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared history and cultural heritage while offering us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since then.
