Texas has a special place in history and in the minds of people throughout the world. It has a mystique that no other state and few foreign countries have ever equaled. Texas also has the distinction of being the only state in the United States that was an independent country for almost 10 years, free and separate, recognized as a sovereign government by the United States, France and England. The pride and confidence of Texans started in those years, and the “Lone Star” emblem, a symbol of those feelings, was developed through the series of maps, flags, art, and books you will find here at Legacy of Texas.

We hope that you enjoy this insight into the lives of the early days of Texas. Own a piece of Texas history, and share the spirit of the Legacy of Texas!

Our Products

Maps

All Legacy of Texas map reproductions are published from the original historical map using state of the art scanning technology and equipment to capture the craftsmanship and detail that went in to creating these maps. When framed, our historical map reproductions can easily be mistaken as an original. All maps are printed on acid free heavy bond archival paper which protects against fading and paper degradation. We also ship all maps rolled in a heavy duty tube.

Legacy of Texas is dedicated to the art of printmaking, and every item printed is made of only the highest quality materials. All prints are suitable for framing and will be enjoyed for many years to come.

Texas Art

Texas has long been a magnet to artists enamored of its varied landscapes, Western culture, and rustic simplicity. The Lone Star State has produced some of the most sought after Western artists in the world and Legacy of Texas strives to keep that longstanding tradition.

The Legacy of Texas Western Art collection brings pastoral scenes, gentle remembrances and the romantic nostalgia that represent the soul of Texas. Artists such as Roberta Wesley, David Stocklein, Robert Dawson, Jack Sorenson, John Leone, and many more are featured in this collection that represents lifeblood of Texas.

The winning spirit of Texas has made the oil and gas industry in Texas what it is today, a way that benefits all. The artistry presented in our Oil and Gas collection is a visual representation of the life and people behind the business and how the petroleum industry added to both the folklore of Texas life and to public coffers. It represents the heritage of all Americans, no matter where on the continent they happen to live, no matter how recently their ancestors arrived on its shores.
