Añadir al carritoHand-coloured lithograph after Hanson, titled below the image. Expert restoration, closing tears. The first America's Cup: a rare hand coloured lithographed view of the winning yacht which gave its name to the cup. In 1851, the Royal Yacht Squadron proposed a race around the Isle of Wight. A group of New York Yacht Club members, led by Commodore John Cox Stevens, built a yacht designed to compete in such races.

This lithograph and lithographer are not recorded by Harry T. Peters; we find no other extant examples of this rare print. For Nagel and Weingaertner, see Peters, America on Stone, pp. 291-294.…
