Buch
Large folio. (50 x 38 cm.). Title, preface, index, "frontispiece" mounted on verso of index and 31 lithographed plates, each with accompanying leaf of descriptive text. Original gilt pictorial blue cloth, rebacked, all edges gilt. Covers soiled, plates with slight crinkling and light spotting to outer blank margins but are otherwise generally clean. The Royal Clyde Yacht Club was the biggest in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, larger even than the Solent Yacht Club, and Clyde yachts were world-famous as pioneers of the relatively new sport of yacht racing. This book reproduces in chromolithography a series of watercolours by Henry Shields RBA (1859-1935) showing famous yachts or "white wings", mostly built 1880-87, with four boats built prior to 1880 included as notable precursors of the Clyde yacht boatbuilding style. Three of them (the "Genesta," "Galatea," and "Thistle") had made attempts to win the America's Cup.

large folio book (52x38cm). pp78 + 31 plates. a bit of foxing to title-page, occasional light marginal foxing and marking elsewhere, with the outer margin of one plate slightly worse affected, but generally a superb copy. The original blue cloth binding and gilt lettering and decoration are still good and bright, with just very slight edge wear to the binding. the colour of the chromolithograph plates is sparkling. (heavy book that may require extra shipping charges for overseas orders) one of the most sought-after books in the field of yachting literature, this superb volume contains a series of thirty-one chromolithograph plates reproduced from paintings by Henry Shields, depicting a range of Clyde yachts, from the 100-ft+ giants to the 15', 17' and 19' class of small racing yachts. Each plate is accompanied by the text of James Meikle, one of the leading yachting correspondents of the day, describing the yacht and recording her racing career, etc.
