Austin's skyline changed faster than almost any other in this catalog and the drawing catches it mid-argument. The old dome sits low at the center while the glass towers stand over it from both sides.
What is in the drawing
The tallest thing comes first: a tower on the far left crowned with four sharp spikes, standing on a base with an arch cut through it. A small cupola and a run of flat low roofs carry the line inward to the capitol, its ribbed dome and finial raised on a wide plain block. More low buildings follow, one with a shallow peak, before the ground gives way to towers again. A slab, a taller shaft and a stepped block lead to a tower whose crown is drawn as a row of hanging petals above a broad base scalloped along its bottom edge. A wide tower marked with long vertical waves stands beside it, and two narrow points finish the drawing at the right.
Who buys it
Austin is bought by people who arrived after the city was already famous and are slightly defensive about it. It works as a leaving present when somebody transfers out, and as a graduation piece, and the drawing is generous enough about the old capitol to please the ones who were there first.
Mug or canvas
At 1.67 to 1 this is the most compact of the twelve cities added most recently and one of the squarest in the whole catalog, which pulls it toward the canvas. It sits closer to a canvas face than to the mug's long printable band, so on a wall it fills the frame with an even margin all round rather than hanging as a stripe. On a mug it centres with space to spare, and the spiked crown stays in view without turning.
