This vintage lithograph postcard features the Steamer David Swain, a bustling riverboat scene on the water at Peoria, Illinois. The detailed image captures the paddlewheel steamer filled with passengers, billowing smoke from its twin smokestacks, and people fishing on the shoreline. The postcard measures a classic 3.5 x 5.5 inches, typical of early 20th-century souvenir cards.Published by F. M. Kirby & Co., a notable postcard publisher from the early 1900s, this card exemplifies the lithographic printing technique with its finely textured and vibrant colors. The scene reflects the historical importance of riverboats in Midwestern American transportation and leisure during that era. Collectors will appreciate the clear depiction of the David Swain steamer, the lively riverside activity, and the nostalgic Americana charm.Keywords: Peoria postcard, Steamer David Swain, riverboat, vintage lithograph, Illinois river scene, F.
