EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1856 showcases the iconic MAIL STEAMBOAT, specifically the Louisville and Cincinnati Mail Lines steamboat Jacob Strader. The intricate details of this print transport us back to a time when river travel was at its peak in America. The Jacob Strader, with its grand exterior design, stands proudly on the Ohio River as smoke billows out of its majestic chimneys. This image captures not only the beauty of this middle American transportation vessel but also highlights an unfortunate consequence - pollution. The black smoke emanating from the boat's stacks serves as a reminder of how industrial progress often came at a cost to our environment. In addition to being an essential mode of mail delivery, these steamboats were popular among passengers seeking adventure and exploration along America's rivers. The Jacob Strader symbolizes both convenience and leisure for those who embarked on her decks. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of a bygone era when steamboats ruled the waterways and connected communities across vast distances. It is through images like these that we can appreciate the significance of transportation advancements in shaping our nation's history.
