EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "The America at Cowes, 1852" by Thomas Sewell Robins. The artwork depicts the historic moment when the America, the first yacht to cross the Atlantic, participated in a thrilling race at Cowes, Isle of Wight. Painted with meticulous detail on canvas using oil paints, this masterpiece captures the essence of maritime adventure and competition. In 1851, despite her smaller size compared to other cutters in the race, America emerged victorious and forever changed yacht design. Her innovative schooner-rig design became immensely popular and influenced future sailing vessels. This painting serves as a testament to her groundbreaking influence on yachting history. Photographed by Derek Bayes with utmost precision and respect for its artistic value, this image transports viewers back to the choppy waters of that remarkable era. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition bring life to every brushstroke captured on canvas. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of artistry from the 19th century, we are reminded of Europe's rich nautical heritage. From England's Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes to Germany's seafaring culture and France's passion for sailing, this painting symbolizes not only a transatlantic crossing but also an interwoven tapestry of European maritime traditions. Derek Bayes' photograph preserves this historical gem for generations to come while honoring both Robins' artistic talent and our enduring fascination with sailboats racing across vast oceans.
