This mini-exhibit explores landscape imagery resulting from the United States War with Mexico of 1846-1848. Sketches in oil and illustrations in rare books document additions to the United States territory. One surveyor wrote that peculiarities of the arid plains and deserts seem to “fit them for the habits of the camel.”
 John Mix Stanley (1814-1872)
