- Summary:
- "One of the greatest cultural treasures in the state of Texas, Bayou Bend is renowned for its superb collection of early American and 19th-century Texas decorative arts and paintings. To honor Bayou Bend's founding director emeritus and his passion for American material culture, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, established the David B. Warren Symposium, seven scholars examined how the power of place influenced nd helped define material culture in Texas, the Lower South, and the Southwest before 1900 within a national and international context. The resulting papers, extensively illustrated and documented, are published in this volume." -- Provided by publisher.
