Linen, MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, Mississippi River, Bluff City News,

Description: Memphis is a city located along the Mississippi River in southwestern Shelby County, in the southwest corner of Tennessee. The 2018 population was 650,618, making It the largest city on the Mississippi, battling Nashville for the largest city in Tennessee and the 26th largest city in the United States. The first European explorer to visit the area of present-day Memphis was Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in 1541. The high Chickasaw Bluffs protecting the location from the waters of the Mississippi would then be contested between the Spanish, French and the English as Memphis took shape. Modern Memphis was founded in 1819 by three prominent Americans, John Overton, James Winchester and future president Andrew Jackson. Memphis grew into one of the largest cities of the Antebellum South as a market for agricultural goods, natural resources like lumber, and the American slave trade. After the Civil War, the city experienced even faster growth into the 20th century as it became among the largest world markets for cotton and lumber. Today, Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art and entertainment. It has long had a prominent music scene with historic blues clubs on Beale Street originating the unique Memphis Blues sound. This linen, published by “Bluff City News, Memphis” and printed by Curt Teich, captures a great Birdseye of Memphis, in what I think is the 1950s. It is in excellent condition with minor wear on the corners and edges and a clean, clear and nicely colored image. The reverse is also clean and clear.
