Four separate views share one sheet here, each with a printed caption naming its scene, a format that lets a single page show several parts of the same region at once. Color views of Western North Carolina like these were widely produced in the early 20th century, when mountain scenery was becoming a draw for tourists and the region's forests and ridgelines were attracting attention from conservationists. The Great Smoky Mountains were later set aside as a national park, with the park established in 1934, so pictures from this period often document a landscape that was on the verge of formal protection.
