About this postcard

The card offers a bird's-eye view of Steubenville, Ohio, looking across the Ohio River toward the city's dense grid of streets, rooftops, churches, and commercial blocks, with a suspension bridge and wooded hills beyond. Steubenville, the seat of Jefferson County, grew as an industrial city on the Ohio River in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with steel and coal among its major industries. The river and surrounding hills are central to the community's setting, and the bridge in the distance reflects the city's connection to the opposite bank.
