Between the 1920s and 1990s, photographer Bob Bailey and his brother Marvin captured iconic images of the Bayou City, which are showcased in the exhibit “Houston from Behind the Lens: Photographs from the Bob Bailey Studios Collection.” The Baileys offer up the Democratic National Convention of 1928, the ticker-tape parade that welcomed home Howard Hughes in 1938, the opening of the Shamrock Hotel in 1949 and other events, with you-were-there authenticity.
