EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a momentous event in maritime history. The image captures the awe-inspiring sight of the Valkyrie II yacht nearing the outer mark during the intense Americas Cup races of 1893. As she gracefully glides through the water, her sleek design and powerful sails showcase her undeniable prowess on the open sea. The Valkyrie II was a force to be reckoned with, representing both elegance and strength as she competed against other renowned yachts of that era. This particular race was filled with anticipation and excitement, as spectators eagerly watched these magnificent vessels battle it out for victory. However, this photo also serves as a reminder of the risks involved in such daring competitions. Just one year prior to this race, tragedy struck when another yacht named Alba met its untimely demise on August 8th, 1892 due to a wreck at sea. Marine accidents like these serve as somber reminders of both the dangers faced by sailors and their unwavering determination to conquer new horizons. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at mankind's enduring spirit of exploration and competition on waterways around the world.
