barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5841 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 3:49 pm Is it a concern that the figure on the left seems to be less sharp than the figure on the right or the surrounding text?

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7614 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 4:34 pm Looks legit to me. Even has the "X" razor cut cancellation, too! Suspect the staining might be due to glue residue when it was mounted and framed. Could also be "foxing" from improper storage conditions. Still, a good note! Report this Post to the Staff

He was the First Governor in the Mexican Territory of Texas. As a lot of Texans were, and still are, he was the adventurous type. He died in a mining camp in California during the gold rush of 1849.
