Description

This framed artwork by George Little depicts the S.S. Julia Belle Swain, a steam-powered sternwheeler cruising along the Tennessee River near Chattanooga. The painting captures the vessel surrounded by rocky riverbanks and autumn-colored trees, with intricate detail in the multiple decks, passengers, and billowing smoke stacks. It reflects both the beauty and engineering of America’s classic riverboats, evoking the romantic era of steamboat travel through the Appalachian foothills. The piece is presented in a warm oak frame measuring approximately 21 inches tall by 23 inches wide overall. A label on the back notes that the Julia Belle Swain was commissioned in 1971, powered by a 200 HP VA-Power Modulatíc boiler, with this print originally distributed as a presentation piece by the Vapor Corporation of Chicago. A fine decorative and historical piece for collectors of riverboat art or Tennessee River memorabilia.
