EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Royal Victoria Yacht-Club Regatta: the Commodore's Cup from 1864, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and design. The cup, manufactured by Messrs. London and Ryder, features a classic Greek style with intricate details in dead gold and silver relief. Two beautifully-modelled mermaids serve as handles, while an infant Neptune rides atop a dolphin on the frosted silver cover.
Presented to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club by Charles Thellusson, Esq., this exquisite trophy was showcased to none other than his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales himself, who was highly impressed by its beauty. The cup bears an inscription commemorating the Ocean Match from Ryde to Torquay in August 1864.
The attention to detail in this piece is truly remarkable - from masks of sea monsters on the base to mythical creatures adorning its surface. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry of London and Ryder but also the rich history and tradition of yacht racing in 19th century Britain.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a world where sailing regattas were prestigious events filled with excitement and camaraderie. The Commodore's Cup stands as a symbol of excellence and sportsmanship that continues to inspire sailors and enthusiasts alike today.
