EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The remnant of the old fort of the Alamo" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the history and grandeur of this iconic American landmark. The print showcases the remnants of what was once a formidable fortress, now weathered by time and neglect. The Alamo, located in present-day San Antonio, Texas, served as a crucial battleground during the Texas Revolution in 1836. This engraving beautifully captures its fortified walls and ramparts that once stood tall against adversity. The image evokes a sense of awe and reverence for those who fought valiantly within these very walls. Rendered with meticulous detail by an unknown American School artist from that era, this illustration originally appeared in "The Southern States of North America". It is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon this striking piece, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. The engraver's skillful use of shading brings depth to every line and curve, emphasizing both the strength and vulnerability embodied within these stone structures. "The remnant of the old fort at Alamo" serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's rich history—a testament to resilience amidst struggle. It stands as an enduring symbol not only for Texans but also for all Americans who cherish their heritage.
