This vintage postcard features a detailed lithograph illustration of the historic Boston Floating Hospital, a unique hospital ship used in the early 20th century to provide medical care. The image captures the ship prominently in the water with smoke billowing from its smokestack marked with a red cross, indicating its medical purpose. The backdrop showcases a harbor scene with sailing ships and waterfront buildings, set against a colorful sky at either dawn or dusk.Measuring 3.5 x 5.5 inches, this original lithograph postcard is an exceptional example of early printed postcards, with a textured gold border adding a decorative touch. The card is postmarked from 1920 and addressed to Mrs. A. B. Chute in Auburn, Maine, featuring handwritten correspondence on the reverse side. This postcard is a fascinating collectible for those interested in maritime history, medical history, or antique postcards, especially those depicting historical hospital ships and early 20th-century transportation.
