Yachting: A Series of Twelve Celebrated Yachts. London: John B. Day, [1877].

Rare series of yachting plates by one of the most celebrated Victorian marine artists. Dutton was one of the most prolific lithographers of the 19th century, and today The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, holds an almost complete collection of his published lithographs. Yachting presents a suite of 12 hand-coloured plates taken from Dutton’s commissions at the bequest of the wealthy ship-owners and builders of the day. Each plate is accompanied by a descriptive text.



The ships featured are among the ‘best known and most admired craft in the pleasure navy’ (Introduction). They are: 1. Victoria and Albert Steam Frigate; 2. Osborne Steam Sloop; 3. Arrow Cutter; 4. Corisande Yawl; 5. Egeria Schooner; 6. Fiona Cutter; 7. Guinevere Schooner; 8. Oimara Cutter; 9. Florinda Yawl; 10. Gwendolin Schooner; 11. Kriemhilda Cutter; 12. Livonia Schooner. Dutton's chromolithographs were the subject of an exhibition at the Scottish Maritime Museum in 2002; Bobins II, 639.



Folio (336 x 272mm). Half-title, title printed in blue and black, 12 tinted lithographic plates, colour printed flags in text, pp.2 of publisher’s ads at rear with prices annotated in ink manuscript (scattered spotting throughout).
