Against a picturesque backdrop, Fitch's steamboat glides gracefully through the river, its paddle wheel churning up waves as it propels forward. The lithograph, created in 1856 by John Franklin Reigart, beautifully depicts this significant milestone in maritime history. The attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate the exterior design of the steamboat, showcasing its sleek lines and sturdy construction. This print serves as a visual testament to Fitch's groundbreaking invention that revolutionized transportation and travel.

As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days when steam power was just beginning to shape our world. This artwork is more than just a historical document; it is a celebration of human achievement and exploration.
