Celebrate the charm of one of America's most distinctive cities as it unfolds in nearly 150 dramatic color photographs in San Antonio Portrait, a 9 x 12 coffee table book. Mike Osborne's camera captures the architectural and festive spirits of Spain and Mexico that have pervaded the city for nearly three centuries, as he takes a fresh look at treasured historic landmarks and at exciting contemporary additions to the scene. Following an illustrated historical foreword by noted historian T. R. Fehrenbach, the photos are placed in perspective in four brief section introductions and concisely explained in captions. Many of the city's favorite places and some of its most festive events will be recognized quickly. Others may take a bit longer. From courthouse to convent, charro to mariachi, mission church to university chapel, shopping mall to River Walk, San Antonio Portrait unveils an intriguing city that most people have never quite seen.
