Steam Ship City of Paris Built for the Commercial Steam Packet Company trading between London and Boulogne

Coloured lithograph depicting the steam ship City of Paris. She was the first iron steamer built in Greenwich by W. Joyce & Co. and she had simplified machinery designed by the firm which worked well until she was converted to screw at Renfrew in 1870 (H. Parker and F. C. Bowen, Mail and Passenger Steamships of the XIXth Century, p. 68).
PAH0267 is a (later?) state of this print, with some small alterations to the flags, and a signature in plate. Inscriptions are the same.
