EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling Great Ocean Yacht Race of 1866, showcasing the majestic vessels Henrietta, Vesta, and Fleetwing as they gracefully sail through the vast open sea. Published by Currier & Ives in 1867, this color lithograph by Charles Parsons is a true masterpiece that now resides in a private collection. The image transports us back to a time when sailing was not only a means of transportation but also an exhilarating sport. The three yachts are depicted with incredible detail, their sails billowing in the wind as they compete against each other for victory. The intensity of the race can be felt through this artwork, evoking a sense of awe and admiration for these magnificent ships. The serene seascape surrounding the yachts adds to the allure of this scene. The deep blue hues of the ocean create a striking contrast against the white sails and wooden hulls. It's as if time stands still in this moment captured by Parsons' skilled hand. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Peter Newark American Pictures' collection, we are reminded of both our fascination with maritime history and our appreciation for fine artistry. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination while offering us an enchanting glimpse into an era long gone but forever immortalized through art.
