Frank Courtney Mellard
The Big Bend Sentinel, Marfa, Texas, 1957
5 1/2 x 7 1/4 in, 71 pages
Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
This rare West Texas imprint, published by The Big Bend Sentinel in Marfa in 1957, is a scarce local publication by Frank Courtney Mellard capturing the cowboy life and landscape of the Big Bend region of West Texas at mid-century. At 71 pages and published in a small edition by a regional newspaper press, this is the kind of ephemeral local imprint that rarely survives in collectible condition and is essentially invisible outside the networks of Western Americana collectors. The Tucson provenance is consistent with the collector market for Southwest and West Texas material.
