EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the Parade Grounds of San Antonio, Texas. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of Fort Sam Houston, an esteemed U. S. Army post. Constructed in the mid-1870s, Fort Sam Houston stands proudly in the American South as a symbol of strength and resilience. Its sprawling barracks and fortifications are showcased from an elevated view, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur against the vast Texan horizon. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this aerial perspective. As we explore every detail within this panorama, we can almost hear echoes of military drills and feel the energy that once filled these grounds. Professor George R. Cromwell immortalized this scene in his book "A Tour Through the New World America" published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. His literary contribution ensures that future generations can experience the historic significance of Fort Sam Houston through his vivid descriptions and evocative imagery. As we admire this photograph today, it serves as a reminder not only of our nation's rich history but also of nature's enduring presence with trees dotting the landscape surrounding the parade ground. This piece offers us a window into another time—a testament to both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's beauty intertwined on these hallowed grounds.
