EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sappho, Queen of the Seas" captures a moment in history during the 19th century. The image showcases Sappho, one of the defenders against Livonia in 1871, as she sails through the waters with determination and grace. This illustration was originally created for "The America's Cup Races" by Herbert L Stone in 1905. In this early twentieth-century photograph, we witness a thrilling display of athleticism and speed. Sappho effortlessly glides across the water on her yacht, showcasing her prowess as a sportswoman. The intense competition and championship atmosphere are palpable as she competes against other boats. The image not only highlights Sappho's remarkable skills but also serves as a testament to the historic significance of sailing during this era. The presence of tugboats and other means of transportation further emphasizes the importance placed on passenger transport at that time. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical context. Through this stunning black-and-white photograph, we are transported back to an exciting period where rapidity and field sports played significant roles in society.
