Tuscon, Arizona

Tucson is one of the oldest continually inhabited places in North America, shaped by ancient Native communities, Spanish presidio walls, Mexican heritage, and the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Founded as Presidio San Agustín del Tucson in 1775 along the Santa Cruz River, the city grew from an adobe frontier outpost into a crossroads of cultures, trade, and desert life. This collection honors old Tucson — a place of sunbaked streets, mission bells, mountain shadows, and the warm, enduring spirit of the Southwest.
