This vintage lithograph postcard features the iconic Niagara River Line Steamer "Chippewa" gracefully cruising across the water. The image captures the steamer billowing smoke from its twin smokestacks, festooned with flags and carrying passengers on its decks under a beautifully colored sky transitioning from soft pink to blue. The postcard measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches and showcases early 20th-century printed lithograph techniques with vibrant, though aged, color tones typical of that era's souvenir cards.Postmarked from Toronto, Ontario on August 13, 1909, this postcard not only depicts a significant piece of transportation history tied to the Niagara region but also offers a glimpse into early Canadian postal and travel culture. Printed by The Valentine & Sons Publishing Co., Ltd., a well-known publisher of the time from Montreal and Toronto, this collectible card represents an original souvenir lithograph postcard circa 1909. Its detailed imagery and historical context make it a valuable addition for collectors of maritime, Canadian history, or vintage travel memorabilia.
