Robert F. Paterson, Hand-Colored Lithograph, Yacht America, Signed
This striking hand-colored lithograph titled Winning the Cup, 1851 commemorates the legendary yacht America, the first American vessel to compete in and win what would later become known as the America's Cup. Rendered by the accomplished maritime artist Robert F. Paterson, this detailed and atmospheric image shows the sleek schooner cutting through the waters off the Isle of Wight on August 22nd, 1851, an iconic moment in yachting history. Published in 1935 by At The Sign of the Gosden Head, the work includes fine calligraphy detailing the yacht's dimensions, specifications, and race victory. The inscription at the bottom celebrates America's trailblazing triumph in the Royal Yacht Squadron's 53-mile regatta, establishing her place in nautical lore. The frame is a classic gold-leafed moulding with a double mat, professionally backed and wired for hanging. Robert F. Paterson was known for his meticulous marine views and contributed significantly to the visual record of transatlantic yacht racing. A rare and elegant piece that will captivate both maritime and historical collectors. Signed in pencil by R.F. Patterson and by colorist John B. Dodge.
