Created by the esteemed and celebrated local artist John T. Scott—whose work profoundly explored the intersection of African American heritage and the rhythmic soul of the South—this piece masterfully captures the spirit of the event through its iconic, stylized logo and striking, bold color-block composition. The title, \"I’ve Known Rivers,\" pays poignant and artistic homage to the historic Langston Hughes poem, deeply resonant with the Mississippi River’s pivotal role in shaping the very lifeblood, economy, and identity of New Orleans. Featuring a printed facsimile signature of the artist, this commemorative design remains a highly sought-after and essential acquisition for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the unique artistic heritage and significant cultural ephemera of Louisiana.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e♦️$20.00 flat rate shipping to all of the United States (Combined, international, and freight shipping as well as local pickup available upon request!)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smokin' Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833450541211,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4310\/5179\/files\/B65FE4D5-BBB5-4AA7-B165-11101A6A62F2.jpg?v=1782256605","url":"https:\/\/www.smokinfinds.com\/products\/vintage-1984-louisiana-world-exposition-i-ve-known-rivers-poster-by-john-tarrell-scott-new-orleans","provider":"Smokin' Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
