EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling Weston-super-Mare Regatta of 1845, a moment frozen in time by the talented artist Condy. The scene showcases an intense boat race off the picturesque Somerset coast, with the Champion emerging victorious while leaving behind the disabled Lily of Devon. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of both Steep Holmes and Flat Holmes Lighthouse, adding to the scenic beauty of this historic event. The flagship Ganymede proudly stands on the left side of the composition, symbolizing its importance in overseeing this prestigious regatta. Published in "Illustrated London News" during that era, this engraving transports us back to a vibrant period in British history. Nicholas Matthews Condy's artistic prowess shines through as he expertly captures every detail and emotion within this image. His skillful use of black and white adds depth and contrast to highlight each element present - from sailboats gracefully gliding across sea waves to spectators cheering from afar. Transporting us back to a time when sailing was not only a sport but also an integral part of transportation along coastal regions, this photograph print serves as a visual reminder of Victorian-era maritime culture. Preserved by The Print Collector for future generations to appreciate, it allows us to delve into our rich historical heritage with awe and admiration for those who participated in these exhilarating races off Weston-super-Mare's shores.
