Lowe, Joshua (sold)
Joshua Lowe (fl. 1836 - 1841) was a New Orleans and Texas lithographer. He maintained New Orleans locations at 75 Chartres and later, after 1838, 34 Canal. Sometime in late 1840, he relocated to Galveston, Texas, where he opened a lithography studio at No. 6, 22nd Street. Only a single work remains from his period, a well engraved stock certificate for the city of Portland Matagorda Company. This is the only known example of engraving completed in the Republic of Texas.
