EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Old Spanish Mission in San Antonio, Texas, circa 1897. The mission, known as Mission Concepcion, was established with the purpose of converting the Hasinai people to Catholicism during a period of colonialism in America. The image is sourced from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor George R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London. The architectural grandeur of this historic building is evident in its aged facade and intricate details that reflect both Spanish and American influences. As we gaze upon this monochrome depiction, we are transported back to a time when religion played a significant role in shaping society. The photograph invites us to explore not only the physical structure but also the spiritual journey it represents. It serves as a reminder of how Christianity spread across different regions during that era and highlights the Roman Catholic presence in San Antonio. As we follow the path leading up to Mission Concepcion, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through history itself – stepping into an enchanting world where faith intertwines with culture and tradition. This remarkable image holds immense historical value and provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter of American history. Its inclusion in Prof. Cromwell's book signifies its significance as an iconic symbol representing both Spain's influence on early American architecture and Texas' rich cultural heritage.
