| Description |
English: The America Winning the Match at Cowes, for the Club Cup... August 22nd 1851 'America' is depicted from her bow quarter, pitiching at an angle so that the deck and crew are clearly visible. The water is choppy but it is an otherwise fine day. A small sailing vessel is portrayed in the right foreground, on board which are several passengers who appear to be doffing their hats and cheering her on. The horizon is peppered with other sailing vessels and steam-powered ships. The 'America' was the first yacht to cross the Atlantic. Although she won the cup in 1851, the cutters competing with her were considerably smaller. Her design had considerable influence, spreading the popularity of schooner-rigs among yachtsmen. The print is inscribed: "The America, Schooner Yacht. To John C Stevens, Esq. Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, this Print is with permission, respectfully dedicated by Oswald W. Brierly." Hand-coloured. |
