Old Map of Mexico, Guatemala, Texas, California by H.S. Tanner, 1839: Mexico City, Puebla, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Houston Size:40x50in (100x127cm) discussing grievances and potential secessionThis masterful 1839 map by H. S. Tanner stands as a richly detailed testament to a time of transformation and exploration. This region of Mexico, Guatemala, and Southwest Texas, including what would become the state of California, was in the throes of significant change. As an artifact from an era that pre dates many modern cities, the map bears the names of early settlements and offers an intriguing opportunity to trace their evolution over time.
