Taxco "The Place of the Ballgame" Mexico

Taxco is a beautiful city built on a hill between Acapulco and Mexico City. If you are looking for a side trip this is the place to go. It is rich with old and new silver mines, has narrow streets and hundreds of silver shops. Taxco, Mexico is renowned for its more than 200-year-old baroque-style church, the Santa Prisca Cathedral, dating back to the 1700's.

The Aztecs founded a city they called "Tlacho" meaning the place of the ballgame.

The Color of Silver: William Spratling, His Life and Art  

Littleton (Advancing American Art: Painting, Politics, and Cultural Confrontation at Midcentury, 1990. o.p.) here provides a scholarly, detailed, and exhaustive look at the famous silversmith/designer, illustrator, writer, and preserver/interpreter of Mexican culture. Unlike Joan Mark's recent book The Silver Gringo: William Spratling and Taxco (LJ 2/1/00), which emphasizes Spratling's silversmithing enterprise, Littleton's effort focuses more on the man. Although little firsthand information about Spratling's formative and early adult years exists, Littleton compensates with well-ordered conjecture and cultural context based on correspondence, contemporary articles, published works, and references to Spratling's many prominent friends. Owing to renewed interest in Spratling and Mexican silver (if the prices for related auction items on eBay are any indication), this title should fill a niche--especially in academic libraries.
