The cotton-steamer depicted in this print represents a significant aspect of the region's history during that time. It symbolizes the booming cotton industry and its vital role in shaping the economy of the United States. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the energy and excitement surrounding these steam-powered vessels as they transported bales of cotton to various destinations.
