    Antique Photo
    Morning Star Paddle Steamer
    Mississippi River, Iowa
    ~ Dated 1912 ~
    Iconic American image of a barefoot family on the shores of the Mississippi looking out at a Paddle Steamer named the
    Morning Star
    . Photo is postcard-sized at 3.25 x 5.5 inches. Dated in pen on verso "1912".
    I am making an assumption based on other photographs in this collection, from this time frame, also taken in Iowa. I also found some history (University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries) for this paddleboat that states: "
    In the summer of 1911 she ran a special cruise from Davenport (Iowa) to New Orleans and out to the Jetties and return. A similar excursion planned for April 1912 was canceled due to high water; instead she ran an excursion from Davenport-Cincinnati and back."
    Photo Measures 3.25 x 5.5 Inches.
    Very Good Antique Condition.

    Thanks for Looking and Good Luck Bidding
