Description

The painting is inscribed by Major and Knapp, a New York publishing company known for their chromolithograhic copies of artwork. SS City of Rome (1881) was a passenger liner designed to be the fastest on the Atlantic crossing. After disapointing trials she passed from the Inman Line to Anchor Line, who commissioned this photograph, and operated on the trans-Atlantic route until 1898. She was scrapped in 1902.
