1870s Original Victorian Steamboat Interior Woodblock Print - Orinoco River Travel - Antique Book Illustration - 12 x 8.5 in
Fascinating Victorian-era print capturing life aboard a steamboat navigating South America's Orinoco River. This print is titled 'Steamboat Travelling On The Orinoco' and originates from Illustrated Travels: A Record of Discovery, Geography, and Adventure, edited by H. W. Bates of the Royal Geographical Society and published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin between 1869-1875. Page measures 8.5 x 12 in.
The detailed engraving shows passengers resting in hammocks within the ship's interior, with bottles and provisions visible on shelves. Minor text show-through appears in borders but doesn't affect the crisp central image.
Great for collectors of exploration history, maritime enthusiasts, and those decorating with authentic Victorian travel documentation.
