This black-and-white landscape photograph captures a large, multi-decked steamboat moving from left to right across a wide river. A dense plume of white steam or smoke trails behind the vessel, partially obscuring the tree-lined riverbank in the background. In the upper-middle ground, a suspension bridge with two tall, light-colored towers and a dark deck spans the width of the river, with the steamboat positioned just before passing under it. The foreground consists of the dark, rippling water of the river. The surrounding terrain is hilly and covered with thick forests and some scattered buildings near the shoreline. In the bottom-left corner, handwritten text on the original mounting reads, "41:22 - ALB." A standard color calibration target and a centimeter ruler are placed at the bottom center of the frame for archival reference.
