“Fort Worth, TX is often referred to as “Panther City.” In the late 1800’s a Dallas attorney, who spent some time in Ft. Worth, insulted the city by saying it was such a sleepy city that he saw panthers sleeping in the middle of the downtown street. The citizens of Ft. Worth embraced the panther as a symbol of hope and strength. This painting depicts a downtown Fort Worth street scene in the 1950’s, complete with a sleeping panther.”
