Comments:
Whilst the words above the silk are modified, and there is no ships name below, the card above is clearly, including the embossing, a Hands Across the Sea postcards produced by Thomas Stevens.
The identical nature of the card reinforces the opinion that Stevens sold complete cards to Alpha, and not just the silk panels.
