Posted by RICK REED on May 28, 2008, 2:31 pm “I joined today specifically to get info on the Texian Campaigne patterns. However my search for this pattern yielded no results. I wonder why?”

Rick found nothing in the database because no patterns had been entered at that time. Wes Palmer, database editor for American Themes, got images for three of the patterns, and entered them in the database. One had no mark on the back. The other two had a cartouche with the words “Texian Campaigne”. The initials ‘J.B.’ were under one cartouche, and ‘T. Walker’ under the other.

The commonly held opinion about the series was stated in the first sentence in the article “Texian Campaigne – A Different Mark!” on p. 10 of the TCC Bulletin, Spring 2008: “Texian Campaigne, a most popular American Historical Staffordshire series, shows battle scenes from the War with Mexico (1846-1848) that resulted in the United States acquiring most of our current Southwest.” What then do we make of the patterns Wes found?.
