Publisher's Note
Novelist Edna Ferber compared the city of Galveston to Miss Havisham, the gray, mournful abandoned bride of Dickens's Great Expectations. A thriving port city in the nineteenth century Galveston suffered catastrophe in the twentieth as a hurricane and shifting economics dropped a pall over its waterfront and Victorian mansions. Originally conceived as a requiem for the faded city, The Galveston That Was (developed by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and funded by Jean and Dominique de Menil) instead helped resurrect the city. Architect-author Howard Barnstone, portrait photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, and architect-photographer Ezra Stoller captured the soul of the city in The Galveston That Was and, as a result, inspired a successful effort to restore Galveston's architectural treasures. The pace of demolition slowed dramatically after the book's initial publication.
