It’s the end of the year, the traditional time for lists! Today I’m posting a list of my top ten favorite images that I’ve posted over the past year — either art or postcards (my favorite photographs of the year will be posted tomorrow). For more info on the images — and to see the post they appeared in — click on the title of the post (sources are generally at the bottom). Most images are larger when clicked — some are quite a bit larger.

“The Dallas Skyline, Vibrant & Sophisticated — 1960” (above) — an idealized rendering of the downtown skyline, oddly missing Pegasus.
“‘Trailerville’ by Charles T. Bowling — 1940.”
“Winter Scene: The Belo Mansion & The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart — ca. 1902.”
“The Fine Black Land Is Around Dallas, Texas.”
“The State Fair of Texas: ‘This Is Where All My Money Has Gone.'”
“Love Field, The Super-Cool 1950s Era.” (Super-cool photos also in this post!)
“‘Cemetery at Twilight’ by Frank Reaugh.”
“‘Along the Tracks’ in the Fair Park Area.” (Painting by Jerry Bywaters.)
“Texas Texas Texas Texas Texas Texas Texas — 1930” (Woodrow Wilson High School yearbook endpaper.)
Honorable Mention: Not specifically Dallas-related, but it IS Texas-related: “‘Used Books & Guns’ — 1967.” I’ve updated the post with a photo, which may or may not be the actual San Antonio bookstore which appeared as an illustration in a children’s book.

I feel like a native of Dallas when I read this site! I first lived in Dallas in 1969.
