Well-Done Colorized Glossy of Liverpool Landing Stage
GGA Image ID # 24627eb778

Beautiful F. Harmann postally used postcard is from their Real Glossy Series G. 1079/10, postmarked 25 July 1908. The message is unique in that it is written upside-down sent to a New Zealand address and postmarked at Crewe Railway Station in Crewe, Cheshire, England. There are several horse-drawn carriages on the landing stage which suggests this photograph dates from the late 1800s to very early 1900s. There are several ocean liners visible, two more clearly than the rest. The steamer in the foreground has smoke billowing from its smokestacks so it may be in the process of starting up for the next voyage. The landing stage itself is lightly populated.
