EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken around 1934 in St. Louis, Missouri, transports us back to a bygone era of steamboat travel on the mighty Mississippi River. The focal point of the image is the majestic Steamer J. S. De Luxe, proudly sailing along the river's currents with an air of elegance and grandeur. Operated by Streckfus Steamers, Inc. , this luxurious vessel was undoubtedly a popular choice for those seeking leisurely cruises or transportation along America's most iconic waterway. The name "J. S. De Luxe" aptly suggests that passengers aboard were treated to an extraordinary experience filled with comfort and opulence. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details of the steamboat's exterior design - from its towering smokestacks billowing clouds of steam to its ornate paddlewheel churning through the river's waters. It serves as a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can't help but imagine life during that time period - bustling river ports teeming with activity, passengers waving from deck balconies, and perhaps even live music filling the air as people danced beneath starry skies. This print is not just a piece of art; it is also a window into America's rich maritime history. It reminds us of an era when steamboats ruled these waters and played a vital role in connecting communities along their banks.
