We recently noticed the Michigan State Capitol posted a composite portrait of legislative members taken in 1885... and we knew we had something similar in our collection! This photo of the 13th Territorial Arizona Legislative Assembly was also taken in 1885. Fun fact: the same framed piece hung in the office of former Arizona legislator, Senate President and Library/Archives' Director, Mulford Winsor.

in 1938, the Arizona Republic reported that students from Phoenix Union High School District visited the Capitol for a mock legislative session. "They adjourned immediately after passing the 'feed' bill to be photographed on the capitol lawn" with Governor Rawghlie Clement Stanford.

We're proud to partner with the Tubac Center of the Arts and Museum of Arizona Artists to exhibit over 40 works of art from the Tubac Center of the Arts Master Artist Collection! On view on the second floor of the Museum through May 28.
