Description
Swante Palm was a Swedish-American diplomat and businessman who promoted Swedish settlement in Texas. He held a number of important positions in Austin, including postmaster and city councilman. Before his death he donated his extensive library to the University of Texas, which more than doubled the school’s holdings. In gratitude, the UT alumni association commissioned Ney to execute his bust for the school library.
