^Lot 199a Santa Anna Cloak.

General Santa Anna red cape with gold and black trim, formerly James A. Sylvester Collection to W. O. Clark collection, Texas, as displayed at the battle for Texas exhibition 2016-2019.

Sylvester's collection was sold shortly after his death and the majority purportedly acquired by Clark in the 1960's. Listed at SMA-038 on Applewhite Clark inventory. The cloak is of fine quality with gold bullion piping and large collar befitting a general of command rank. Good condition for its age. Includes a folio of photocopied documentation and reproduced image of this cape in "The Battle for Texas" display across from the Alamo 2016-2019.
