Description

Dramatic night scene of New York harbor showing the steam ship ‘Paris’ leaving he pier amid fireworks exploding ship in one side of the background and the ring-lit Statue of Liberty in the other. Beautifully detailed. This was the precursor of the French lines. This is as dramatic and beautifully printed an image as exists in travel posters of the period. This poster is framed and can  be picked up at our office. It cannot be shipped framed. It can be unframed and rolled. Near mint overall with bright gilding still evident in the borders.
