View of the harbor in Buffalo, N.Y. Two rowboats can be seen in the foreground, one carrying four passengers and the other manned by a single rower. Many boats are in the harbor, including three large ships, one of which is emitting a plume of black smoke. Smaller tugboats can be seen in the distance. Tall docks and the supporting timber bracework beneath them feature prominently in the image, as does a breakwater on the lefthand side of the postcard. A large building, perhaps a railroad terminal, featuring the acronym N.Y.C.B.H.R.R.R. is also visible on the lefthand side of the postcard. City buildings can also be seen in the distance. Clouds are in the sky and swaths of sunlight are reflected in the harbor water.
