About This Item
San Antonio: J.R. Wood Printing Co, 1920. About very good.. Broadside, 25 x 18.75 inches. Printed in red and black. Previously folded. Light chipping and wear at edges; very marginal mat burn. Short perforation at center left, not affecting printed areas. Light tanning. A quite attractive and scarce promotional poster for the San Fernando Addition in south San Antonio. The addition was laid out circa 1920, and appears on an Appler map of the city in that year; it was bounded by South Flores and South Nogales on its east and west sides respectively in an area today that is rather roughly bisected by the intersection of the 35 and 410 interstate highways. A low-angled, bird's-eye view of the city shows the then rural landscape where the addition was located, with the city rising in the background. A street map that occupies much of the lower half of the broadside shows the location of Sen Fernando Addition with respect to the center of San Antonio. The text that surrounds these two large illustrations advertises "Water Free Forever!" and touts the many advantages and amenities of living in the addition, and emphasizes the cheapness of the land at $100 to $150 per lot. Not in OCLC.
