 | | •The Young City of Dallas•
By 1890, Dallas had grown to be the largest city in Texas, with a population of more than 38,000. The city was a Texas rail hub and was the center of a booming Texas cotton industry in 1892. The boom times in Dallas were to slow dramatically after the "Panic of 1893." It wasn't until the early 20th Century that the River Improvement Plans mentioned (and shown) on this map, actually began to take shape.
This large panorama is one of the only ones done of Dallas in the 1800s. It depicts a detailed view of the city from Oak Cliff. Around the edges of this piece are vignettes of various important buildings. Running along the bottom are advertisements for a number of businesses that offered products and services that might be needed by new businesses or residents.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unframed pieces are printed on 100% rag, fine art paper. Framed pieces are printed on canvas.
All sizes are approximate. Because they are taken from authentic antiques, very few pieces are exact "standard sizes" and will, generally, require custom framing (which we offer at very reasonable prices - see below).
Due to the INCREDIBLY high shipping prices charged for OVERSIZE shipping, shipping charges may be higher than quoted for items that measure more than a total of 70" (matted height + width). For example a matted piece measuring 32" x 40" would be considered OVERSIZE (72"). For complete delivery information, see Information page.
