Lively crowd scene at a Rhine steamer landing near Mainz (Mayence), Germany, with a large paddle steamer of the Cöln-Düsseldorfer Rhein-Dampfschiffahrt line moored at a packed quay. Hundreds of Edwardian day-trippers in summer dress crowd the embankment; a large arched steel railway bridge with Gothic stone towers spans the Rhine in the background. Flags fly from the steamer's gangway platform.
