Bradshaw at the School of Industrial Arts in Trenton, New Jersey. This drawing and print come from the Cumberland River series, which were made from "on the spot sketches and my own snap shots on the spot," in the words of Pittman. The Cumberland River is a major Southern waterway. The Rome Ferry, located in Rome, Tennessee, transported passengers, livestock, supplies, and vehicles between the Smith County, Tennessee communities of Rome and Riddleton for almost two centuries. |
