Thanksgiving Deal The Alamo Rescued - 1912 - Today Only [QVBpOcWA]

A Shrine at Last

Between the time of the battle and when this photograph was taken in 1912, the old church was not shown the respect we give it today.

It was scavenged for building materials, turned into an army warehouse, housed a police station, and even used to store liquor for the mercantile business that was built over the long barrack.

That changed between 1906 and 1912. First, when the Daughters of the Republic of Texas saved the long barrack from becoming part of a hotel development, and finally, when Governor Colquitt had workers remove everything that was not there in 1836, other than the roof and famous parapet.

This is an image of the shrine breathing easily, at long last.

The paper is acid free, cold press cotton watercolor with an elegant ever so lightly textured finish. This surface allows the inks to 'bite', reproducing the shading and tonality of the original map vividly, beautifully, and exactly.

The inks are guaranteed color-fast for 80 years, which means you won't need to lay out the extra money for UV glass. You can hang your map in direct sun and it will be just as bright when they are passed on to the next generation it is the day it ships.
