Beyond scarce 19th century advertising poster for the International Steamship Company's "Eastern Sea Coast Route", published by Hatch Lithographic Company of New York. The International Steamship Company served the northeast coast of the United States and Canada, including New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. This circa 1885 poster depicts the sidewheel steamer "State of Maine" built in 1882. She boasted both American and Canadian flags, plying the Atlantic coast between Maine and St. John, New Brunswick. This poster is mounted within its original lemon gilt plaster and wood frame. Some age toning but overall quite good. Views much better than the photos suggest. Overall framed size is 17.5" x 25.5".
