The scene shows the ship at the dock or in the roadstead, with many details visible on the ship's structure: dark hull, tall central funnel typical of early 20th-century steamers, masts, and rigging. Several smaller boats float in the foreground, accentuating the port atmosphere. The shot is in black and white, with a classic horizontal framing. The background suggests a port, probably Barcelona, in line with the keywords. The overall visual offers a marked historical and maritime rendering, true to documentary photographs of the Spanish merchant navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe postcard has a straight and regular right border on the visible side, without perforation or fancy cut. The inscriptions are printed in the upper left, perfectly legible: \"Serie “Standard” Marina Mercante Española. Vapor Correo CATALUÑA.\" No other text, logo, or publisher's mention appears on this side. The card's surface appears matte, with no apparent glossy effect. The image's contrast clearly distinguishes the ship, rigging, and superstructures. No decorative frame or secondary pattern is visible around the main photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card is placed on a dark piece of furniture with gilded ornamentation, but only the front of the postcard is shown. No details of the back, nor indication of stamp, address, or correspondence, are visible in this image. The overall condition of the front appears good, with no major creases or obvious stains on the photographed area, although slight traces of wear may remain on the edges, typical of a period maritime object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
