Description

Black and white photo of a steam boat on the Mississippi River. In the foreground is water. Only the front portion of he boat is visible. The prow is pointed and, since the boat is moored at a dock, buildings on the dock appear to be a part of the boat. The boat has several decks with windows and railings. The rounded bridge is visible on the top deck. Behind the boat are trees, and a hill or mound with a tower at the top. There is a white border on all sides, and in the bottom border is "#234" and "10/16/29". On the back is "2409". This print is inserted along with a negative of the image into a brown envelope that has typed "New Orleans--River Steamer on the Mississippi 10/16/29". Stamped is "234" and "indexed".
