Scope and Content

From the Collection: In 2002 Nancy Brown Martinez asked Jose Cisneros for permission to use some of his drawings in exhibits and class orientations at the CSWR. Jose gave her permission provided his work was credited. In addition, he sent Nancy as a gift a packet with a number of copies of his drawings, which is this small collection. Included is a card honoring Charles Motsch for his gift of a letter press to the University of Texas,commemorating J. Carl Hertzog; as well as a keepsake print about typography and Hertzog's contribution, featuring a drawing by Cisneros (1987). There is also an announcement and short history for the New Mexico National Guard, entitled "Always Ready," by Cisneros, with a drawing of a New Mexico military officer and militiaman on foot. There are also 7 images from the book, "Faces of the Borderlands," placed in a oval of barbed wire. Another drawing from 1990 is "El Adelantado Don Juan de Oñate." The "Arrival of Don Juan de Oñate at Paso del Norte, April 30th, 1598," is from 1993. "The Don Juan de Oñate Expedition at Paso del Norte A.D. 1598," was done in 1995. The Oñate image includes monks and Native Americans who accompanied the Governor. Another shows the founding of the Guadalupe Mission.
