Yes, Numbers 21 and 22 are the ugliest collages ever to reflect the overwhelming commercialization of Alamo Plaza. Even Waldo (Yes, he's there) is easier to find than the Alamo.  An early 1900s postcard of a parade float, "Save the Alamo," and "Letter from the Alamo" from a plaque on the grounds are surrounded by some of the plaza's clutter, including a dinosaur, Stumpy, snow cones, the Odditorium, the t-shirt bearing the unheeded message "Don't Mess with Texas, San Antonio" and even the Daughters of the Republic of Texas' own unsightly addition of a pop-up tent pushing their "Live the Drama"' guides.  Hey, Phil Collins, please help.

Mary Bonner's tasteful woodblock print originally made to help raise funds for the San Antonio Conservation Society is paired with an inscription from the Cenotaph, "In Memory of the Heroes...at the Alamo, March 6, 1836."  The images are  ruined by surrounding offers to shop at "Liber-T," view repulsive world records, obtain henna tattoos or consume ice cream cones and hoagies. Sorry to have left out the coonskin cap.

The back cover of the 1911-1912 edition of "The Blue Book" reads "For Information of the Red Light District Ask Me. Meet me at the Beauty Saloon."  This image is combined with advertisements, including Sallie Brewer's, from an inside page of the guide to San Antonio's "Sporting District," a red light and an early 1900s' postcard of The Alamo.  

Early 1900s' miniature souvenir folder with the Alamo on the cover and inside picture of "Typical Mexican Home and Family."  Copy drawn from actual printed copy inside folder: "Historically San Antonio boasts that 'Thermopylae had is messenger of defeat, but the Alamo had none.' Many notable and historic buildings and quaint customs of 'Long ago' mingle with the beautiful romantic aspects of the past."
