c1869-An advertising color card for the Clipper Ship "Cleopatra," by George D. Sutton`s Clipper line. Listed as the "The Magnificent A1 New York Clipper." The litho printer for this 6.5"x4.1" card is listed as "Nesbitt & Co. Printers & Stationers, NY." The gold highlighted title is foremost on the card. These printed cards were done on enameled cardstock, sometimes with 5-7 color overprints. They were typically done to drum up business for the clipper line. The "Cleopatra" was built in Williamsburg, NY, and noted for its speed. It was 184` long, and was listed as making the passage from New York to San Francisco, around the "Horn", in 116 days. It also did well in the "China" trade, sailing from NY to China and India. This card is in very good condition, with some checking at the corners, and slight fading of some of the red text. A nice piece of history. HKA#64071
