The first edition was the product of a talented collaboration of the author-artist, his researchers, and the designer, Carl Hertzog.” Herd 1318. Loring Campbell. Lowman 99. Holman, Hertzog Dozen: “A book in the grand manner - one might even say it is Hertzog’s masterpiece - is The King Ranch.It is a favorite of many collectors, including the designer, who experienced great satisfaction in working with the author and illustrator, Tom Lea.Here is a book that is truly Texian. Even the brands which appear as margin decorations on each page were printed from brass rule bent into shape just as one would bend a branding iron.”
