The artwork depicts streets, buildings, bridges, railroads, and steamboat activity along the Tennessee River in vivid detail.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKnoxville was founded in the late eighteenth century along the banks of the Tennessee River and named for Revolutionary War general Henry Knox. By 1886 the city had transformed from a frontier outpost into a thriving industrial center, with iron works, woolen mills, marble quarries, and manufacturing enterprises fueling its rapid postwar growth.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe view includes fifty-two numbered and lettered reference points identifying landmarks such as Tennessee University, the Knox County Court House, Fort Sanders, and numerous churches, schools, and factories. Inset illustrations highlight prominent industrial facilities, underscoring the commercial ambitions of a city emerging from the upheaval of the Civil War era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis exceptional artwork stands as a testament to Knoxville's dynamic growth during the late nineteenth century, offering a window into a southern city reshaped by railroads, industry, and civic aspiration. It appeals to collectors of Tennessee history, nineteenth-century cartographic art, and American bird's-eye views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":46590695833789,"sku":"ENMAP0758_1624H","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":46590695866557,"sku":"ENMAP0758_2436H","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/ae22870b-eb93-55ec-8735-cfa05766d7af.jpg?v=1775135432","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1886-knoxville-tennessee-panorama","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
