GALVESTON — Guests can see “Seaside City: Galveston, Texas: Historic Postcards and Paintings from the Rosenberg Library’s Collection” as part of ArtWalk at The Tremont House, 2300 Ship’s Mechanic Row from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.
The exhibit will feature color postcards and paintings portraying Galveston as a maritime city. There will be scenes of the harbor and wharves, commercial and sport fishing, passenger liners and pleasure boats. The presentation will include postcards from the early 1900s to 1950s from the Forshey Collection. It also will display maritime-themed paintings from the Rosenberg Library’s collection.
Rocky and Sherrie Forshey donated more than 700 postcards of Galveston to the Galveston and Texas History Center at Rosenberg Library in February.
This is the second presentation of postcards from this collection that has been featured during ArtWalk.
Guests can purchase reproductions of some historic postcards and other images that are part of Rosenberg Library’s collection. Sales will benefit the library.
