About this work
A black and white lithographic print showing two steamboats racing side by side on a river, with tall twin smokestacks billowing dark smoke and flags flying from their masts. The boats are labeled Robt. E. Lee and Natchez, and the title and text beneath describe the race from New Orleans to St. Louis. The print was issued by Currier & Ives in 1870.
