Description
A novelty cut-out postcard shows three stylized steamships arranged in separate window-like openings. The ships are drawn in bold black, white, red, and blue with tall smokestacks and visible smoke. The design is graphic and playful, with the ships appearing as if they can be cut out from the card. The card is undated.
