World War I they took hundreds of photographs of Fort Worth, its buildings and people. He
further stated that the work of the Swartz Brothers was the best visual chronicle of
turn-of-the century Fort Worth, particularly its human face as well as the streets, architecture and
events. He added the Swartz Brothers' photographs were part of the collections of individuals
and institutions all over the country and the current exhibition at the Fort Worth Central Library
would be the first time a selection of Swartz images would be on public display in one place. He
pointed out that the Swartz Brothers' photographs were part of the historic fabric and public face
of Fort Worth in the form of the famous "Wild Bunch" photograph, the devastating 1904 fire at
the Texas & Pacific station, the visits of Theodore Roosevelt and Quanah Parker and other
notable moments in Fort Worth history and that the City of Fort Worth encouraged all residents
