Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Way back in the early 1800s, there were no bridges over the Ohio River. The only way to get from Kentucky to Ohio, or vice versa, was by boat. Near Cincinnati, dozens of boats ferried people, livestock and goods from one side to the other before bridges could be built. Before steam engines were used to turn the paddlewheels in 1867, horses walking on treadmills did the job. This ferry boat named the Boone No. 7 was the first all metal boat built in 1937 and is now powered by a diesel engine.

I created this image from my original photograph by adding digital enhancements, textures and painterly-style effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
