EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of Texas, specifically to the year 1837. It showcases the historic house in Houston where the first Congress of the Republic of Texas convened. The wood engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures this significant moment in American history. The image transports us to a bustling city street in Houston, with men going about their daily lives on horseback and on foot. A lone equestrian rider catches our attention as he confidently navigates through the dirt road. The presence of an ox yoke hints at a time when horses and oxen were essential for transportation and labor. The grandeur of this scene lies not only in its depiction of early Texan life but also in its representation of a young republic finding its footing amidst vast possibilities. This gathering marked a pivotal moment for Texas as it established itself as an independent nation separate from Mexico. As we gaze upon this remarkable wood engraving by The Granger Collection, we are reminded that every great journey begins with humble beginnings. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination that shaped both Texas' past and present identity as part of America's rich tapestry.
