This area, like much of Galveston, was experiencing significant transition during the decade. The city had recently emerged from its \"Free State of Galveston\" era, a time when gambling and vice industries flourished until a crackdown in the late 1950s brought them to an end. As a result, Galveston faced economic challenges and worked to redefine itself, with the East End witnessing both decline and the seeds of revitalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThroughout the 1960s, there was a growing awareness of the need to preserve Galveston’s unique architectural heritage, especially in the East End. Residents became increasingly concerned about the demolition of historic structures, which led to the beginning of the city’s preservation movement. This decade also saw changes in local government, with Galveston adopting the council-manager system in 1961, aiming to bring more professionalism and efficiency to city administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEconomically, the city shifted its focus toward tourism, the seafood industry, and industrial development, as well as expanding its educational institutions. The University of Texas Medical Branch continued to grow, and new colleges were established, further shaping the community. Natural disasters such as Hurricane Carla in 1961 had a significant impact, causing damage and prompting improvements in infrastructure and disaster preparedness. Overall, the east part of Galveston in the 1960s was a place of both historical significance and transformation, balancing preservation with the need to adapt to changing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground on Creator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGus F.

Interestingly, the Washington Monument was not completed until 1884 - it sat unfinished between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the outbreak of the Civil War. When the project did eventually restart, the builders used a different type of marble, resulting in a noticeable line about a third of the way up the obelisk that indicates its formerly-incomplete state. Johnson's map, published well before the monument's completion, pictures the original construction plan designed by Robert Mills which included a colonnade wrapping around the obelisk's base. Though this idea was later discarded, it appears that in 1861 Johnson still had faith in the monument's completion, colonnade and all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34139691253899,"sku":"306144","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/DSC_0679.jpg?v=1612989012"},{"product_id":"los-angeles-cram-1899","title":"Official Map of the City of Los Angeles Cal.: Cram 1899","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Official Map of the City of Los Angeles Cal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e George F.

The print was published in 1885 to publicize the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition. The view of New Orleans shows the bend in the river with ships and steamboats. Many boats can be seen on Lake Pontchartrain is in the background, and the lower margin contains over forty names of buildings and areas. Named buildings and locations include City Hall, Lafayette Square, several in the French Quarter, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, held on the centennial of the first known export of cotton from the United States to Great Britain, offered New Orleans a chance to demonstrate to the world how Reconstruction had revitalized its businesses and infrastructure. In a fascinating turn of events, the Exposition failed financially but succeeded culturally, accelerating urbanization and ushering in a more modern and vibrant New Orleans. Shortly after the expo, Tulane University relocated uptown, attracting a well-educated and wealthy demographic to the area; Loyola University would do the same in 1910. Additionally, in the 1890s the city built a modern water purification system, while steel framed construction followed shortly after, forever changing the city’s skyline. This view captures the city as it appeared in 1885, immediately prior to this era of rapid growth and urbanization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrier and Ives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrier \u0026amp; Ives lithographs ranked among the most popular wall hangings in nineteenth-century America. The prints of Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, which typically depict the history and customs of the American people, also provide valuable historical records of a time when news photography was still unknown. After undertaking apprenticeships in Boston and Philadelphia, Currier set up a print publishing company in New York City in 1834. He hired Ives as his bookkeeper in 1852 and made him a partner in 1857, creating the firm of Currier \u0026amp; Ives. The company lasted until 1907, eventually passing into the hands of the two men's sons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an era before photojournalism, Currier met the public’s demand for graphic representation of recent events. In 1835, he printed a lithograph, \u003cem\u003eThe Ruins of the Merchants’ Exchange\u003c\/em\u003e, four days after the building burned; in 1840, three days after the event, he issued a colored print of a steamship burning on Long Island Sound. In partnership with Ives, who had a flair for gauging popular interests, he expanded his range from depictions of disasters to political satire and other topical subjects. The company also branched into dramatic or slightly sentimentalized scenes such as steamboat races, boxing matches, sleigh rides in the country, and fashionable soirees. Touting itself as “Publishers of Cheap and Popular Pictures,” the firm sold prints ranging in price from 5 cents to $3, depending on the size. The firm sold retail as well as wholesale, establishing outlets in cities across the country and in London. Between 1840 and 1890, Currier \u0026amp; Ives published more than 7,000 prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile never purporting artistic greatness, Currier \u0026amp; Ives insisted on fine craftmanship and the best lithographic materials. Most designs were created by house staff, while others were commissioned from young artists such as Louis Maurer, Thomas Worth, and Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. As the firm was not equipped for chromolithography, prints were hand-colored by a dozen or more women in assembly-line fashion, one color to a worker. The colors favored were clear and simple, and the drawing was bold and direct. Though their methodology was ultimately rendered obsolete by automation and the photograph, Currier \u0026amp; Ives prints became valuable records of the politics, history, and manners of nineteenth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposition was conceived to promote New Orleans and mark the 100th anniversary of the nation's cotton industry. The city's first world's fair opened in what is now Audubon Park on Dec. 16, 1884. In late 1882, the National Cotton Planters Association proposed a centennial exposition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the nation's cotton industry. Local papers quickly proposed New Orleans as the ideal site for the event. It wasn't until September, 1884 that bids were put out for vendors for the event, which opened two weeks late. Some exhibits weren't completed until long after the exposition had opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe city was \"decorated as she never was before\" on December 16, 1884, opening day at the exposition, the newspaper noted. The Cotton Centennial Exposition's largest building was also the largest building in the country in 1884. It covered thirty-three acres and was constructed in about six months. The Horticultural Hall, the largest greenhouse in the world, numbered among many notable buildings constructed for the event; it was the only one to remain in use after the fair, but was destroyed in a 1915 hurricane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time it concluded in May 1885, the expo had attracted more than 1 million visitors, including an estimated 36,000 the week of Mardi Gras.

D. Bache (1806-1867) served as the 6th Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Survey. Born in Philadelphia, he came from a prominent political family, and was the great-grandson of Benjamin Franklin. Under his leadership, the Coast Survey’s operations grew significantly, expanding from nine to seventeen states as it surveyed the Gulf and West Coasts. Bache ran meticulous studies relating to ocean currents, tides, and the earth’s magnetic field, endeavors which provided in-depth knowledge about U.S. coastal geography. Thanks to Bache, the Coast Survey evolved into an immense resource for the U.S. government and one of the foremost scientific institutions in the country leading up to the Civil War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39281931616395,"sku":"102346","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/BacheGalvestonHarbor.jpg?v=1616016139"},{"product_id":"map-of-washington-cram-c-1889","title":"Map of Washington: Cram c. 1889","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eMap of Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e George F.

Due to the infrequency with which it has come to market in the past, as well as the fact that the only other known examples currently reside at the Houston Public Library and the Library of Congress, respectively, this piece is referred to as an “unobtainable” historical artifact. Published by Philadelphia firm E. P. Noll \u0026amp; Co., which was active around the turn of the nineteenth century (c. 1890-1910), the map includes the newly formed Houston Heights neighborhood. It also features Buffalo Bayou (labeled “Buffalo River”), White Oak Bayou, and the network of rail lines leading in and out of the city.

It reflects Houston’s status as the railroad hub of Texas beginning c. 1890, and depicts the city shortly before a period of immense commercial growth: following the devastating Galveston hurricane of 1900, Houston would begin to supersede Galveston as the state’s foremost commercial center.

Operating out of the Beatty Building at Main Street and Walker Avenue in Downtown Houston (demolished in 2007), Morrison \u0026amp; Fourmy issued directories for cities throughout the state of Texas. These booklets included information regarding a city’s various schools, churches, businesses, banks, government buildings, attractions, streets, properties, and other elements of note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMap is divided into wards and labeled based on property ownership. Depicts Buffalo Bayou, as well as White Oak Bayou, though it is not labeled. To the far left along the bayou appears “Glenwood,” denoting historic Glenwood cemetery founded 1872. Delineates various railroad lines running in and out of the city and marks the locations of industrial plants concentrated near present-day Downtown such as ‘Water Wks,’ ‘Houston Cotton Press,’ ‘Central Ice Factory,’ and ‘Steam Mill.’ The map also labels sites around the city such as hospitals, schools, cemeteries, gardens, depots, and churches. A line along the bottom margin reads ‘Corporation Limits,’ and near the bottom left corner lies the city’s fairgrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, Houston did not pave its first street until the summer of 1882, the year of this map’s publication. For 45 years, Houstonians had dealt with the city’s muddy terrain; after many failed attempts to tackle this persistent issue using wooden planks and wagonloads of shell from nearby Galveston, property owners gave $10,000 to pave two blocks of Main Street with limestone squares laid on gravel. Additionally, merchants paid $500 each to have gravel spread on 15 blocks of Congress and Franklin. Nevertheless, by the next winter the relentless mud had once again oozed up over the limestone squares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Harper’s magazine article of the era describes the city’s marketplace:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“…\u003cem\u003ethe German farmers come in from distances of 20 miles and more hauling their produce in wagons…Nearby on the sidewalk a Chinese peddler displays his wears …This thin faced Italian had a wagon laden with game, all killed close by…The respectable looking colored man and women sell cold food - fried catfish to tender chicken, hard-boiled eggs and heaps of golden corn bread and roasted potatoes…The butchers are nearly all Germans with a Frenchman and an American or two.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn and out of the buildings they surge for all of Houston is here…laughing, teasing, talking, quarreling, gesticulating, bargaining, staring, keeping appointments and making new ones, being proper or improper, polite or rude as the case may be\u003c\/em\u003e. “\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe people described above were all Houstonians; however, it is not quite clear just which among them were ‘Americans’ by Harper’s definition. The diversity of 1880’s Houston has carried through to the present, and continues to define the city, today one of the most diverse in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe map depicts the city of Houston almost fifty years after its founding and shortly before a period of immense commercial growth: following the devastating Galveston hurricane of 1900, Houston would begin to supersede Galveston as the state’s foremost commercial center. Additionally, the discovery of oil at Spindletop in 1901 spurred the rapid development of the Texas petroleum industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e One recorded example, Houston Public Library.  We handled this map in 2007, placing it in a world class Texas collection, and are pleased to be able to return it to the market for the next generation to appreciate.  Due to the infrequency with which it has come to market in the past, as well as the fact that the only known example is held institutionally, this is a rare opportunity to obtain the unobtainable.
