INTRODUCTION.
In 1888, the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce produced a booklet of text and engraved illustrations: Sketches of Charlotte. Despite the artistic title, this was a work of promotion.
Charlotte is not only the busiest, the most progressive and the most enterprising city in North Carolina, but she is destined to assume the position, in the early future, of the most important commercial and manufacturing center between Atlanta and Baltimore. (Sketches of Charlotte, p.5)
