The photographs and sketches of earlier Houston reproduced in this book are from the author’s collection of Houston historical material, which includes around nine hundred pictures of Houston subjects from the 1840s to 1900.

The woodcut shows the east side of Main Street between Congress and Preston Avenues in 1866. A photograph of the same scene appears on [Page 31].
