The “Archer” was a 1095 ton clipper ship launched in New York in 1852. She was a fast sailer, but was spanked by the “Flying Cloud in 1854 (the trip prior to this one), making the New York to San Francisco passage in a respectable 106 days compared to the “Flying Cloud’s” all-time record of 89 days. A copy of this handsome card sold for $1200 in the Schwed sale at PBA Galleries in 2010. This card is unusual in that there is printing on the verso (most were blank). Light wear to corners and light soiling along edges.
