George Carter was a Nevada artist in the 1950's and 1960's. He was actually quite successful wining second place in a regional art exhibit in 1962. He was, however, known for having trouble with alcohol. He would paint in his hotel room often trading paintings for room, board, and drinks. He is quite famous for taking his drawings from Nevada magazines. This particular drawing comes the 1960 No. 2 issue of Nevada Highways and Parks. It is actually the front cover. San Antonio was a small stage stop built around a group of springs. It became a major stop on the line between Belmont and Middlegate in the 1860's. More background notes on San Antonio and more information on George Carter is included. Painting is 24 x 36" without the frame. Frame certainly looks period. 1960 Nevada Highways and Parks is included with the original photograph.
