Item description from seller

Very good. Light foxing and slight surface scuffing. Size 23.25 x 33.5 Inches. An unrecorded 1982 pictorial map of Texas history drawn by Bill Car and issued by the Broadway set designer Peter Wolf. A Closer Look The map pays respectful homage to all things Texas. Texas dominates the image, with its northern stovepipe extending into the map's decorative border. Throughout, important sites in Texas history are noted, along with historical annotations. Surrounding the map are illustrations of important Texas figures, with Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, William B. Travis, and Davie Crockett taking pride of place. Additionally, the map illustrates historical events ranging from the Franciscan Mission, to the Alamo, to the formation of the Texas Rangers, to Texas joining the United States. It features a decorative border inherited from a 19th-century map design. An inner border features historical cattle brands - we recognize a few, including King Ranch. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Bill Car, designed by Peter Wolf, and published in 1982 by Peter Wolf Concepts. Historical research and art direction was done by James Frazer. We do not see examples recorded in any institutional collection and note very limited market history. This example came from Wolf's estate. His archives are being donated to Southern Methodist University. The archives contain several examples of this map, but most were heavily damaged in storage. Perhaps 25 surviving examples are known.
