Two of the most popular and best-known images of Texas. These views provided easterners vivid images of life in the West. First is a tinted lithograph of the heart of El Paso drawn by A. de Vanducourt. Second is a steel engraving drawn by Arthur Schott and engraved by James D. Smillie. Both are lovely views filled with people going about their daily business. Sizes vary slightly.
