Description
Since their construction within the eighteenth century, the Spanish missions in San Antonio have held a fascination for visitors and residents alike. This elegant coffee-table volume displays a couple of hundred color photographs by architectural photographer Mike Osborne. It provides a particular latest portrait of the five mission complexes, now in part restored, in part still in ruins. One, better referred to as the Alamo, is a memorial to its defenders in 1836. The four others comprise San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. Each and every section features a rare nineteenth-century image, a couple of prior to now unpublished.
