EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured engraving captures the excitement and elegance of yachting in the 19th century. The detailed illustration, originally featured in The People's Magazine in 1871, showcases a scene of leisure and adventure on the open seas.
The English School artist behind this masterpiece has expertly depicted the sleek lines of the boats as they glide through the water, their sails billowing in the wind. The vibrant colours used bring to life the joy and freedom that comes with sailing.
Yachting was not just a means of transportation during this time period; it was also a symbol of wealth and sophistication. The individuals aboard these vessels were likely members of high society, enjoying a day out on the water for pleasure rather than necessity.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a bygone era when yachting was a popular pastime among those who could afford such luxuries. The history and maritime heritage captured in this image is truly captivating, reminding us of simpler times when taking to the sea was an escape from everyday life.
This engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of our connection to the ocean and its timeless allure.
