Chromolithography is a term used for color lithographs characterized by saturated, high-gloss color, usually covering the entire sheet. Although color lithography and chromolithography are made by the same technique, chromolithographs are reproductions that are smaller than double demi, and are of finer quality than lithographic drawings which are used for large posters. The S.S. Mount Hope was an American wooden paddle side-wheel steamboat built by the Montgomery & Howard Company in Chelsea, Massachusetts and launched in 1888. It was used by the Providence Fall River and Newport Steamboat Company to ferry passengers between Newport and Block Island until 1936 when it became unseaworthy and was abandoned at the Green Jacket Shoal ship graveyard. The image of the ship in this painting is likely a copy of an original piece painted in 1902 by Antonio Jacobsen (1850-1921), a Danish painter who made over 6000 maritime portraits in his lifetime. The Great White Fleet was the popular nickname for a group of United States Navy battleships and their escorts that completed a journey around the globe from December 16, 1907 to February 22, 1909, by order of President Theodore Roosevelt. The fleet, so called because of their stark white hulls, were sent primarily to make friendly courtesy visits to numerous countries and harbors while displaying new US naval power, particularly to deter war with Japan after the anti-Japanese riots in San Francisco. This piece appears to have been created by another artist using multiple images at a later time, possibly in the 1910s, as the Mount Hope never actually encountered the Great White Fleet, nor was it larger than any ship in either squadron. The inscription on the top of the back gives information about fixing the frame in 2015.
