The photograph shows Streatley, a steamer built and operated by Salters brothers Abingdon. She is still afloat, operating, and now owned by the Thames Steam Packet Boat Company in Windsor. I think this is the first postcard I've collected that features a clearly identifiable steamer. Sent from Edith Mary Barrett (b. 1884) of 12 Marcham Road, to Nellie Gamble Edgson. Edith's brother Paulin would marry Nellie in 1912.
