Size including frame: 36” X 56”

This is one of five known versions of this classic Dawson subject, the 1866 “Great Race” from Foochow to London, in which six of the fastest clipper ships competed in loading their cargo, sailing 14,000 miles, and anchoring in London. The Ariel and the Taeping were the frontrunners for most of the race, with the Taeping anchoring only 28 minutes ahead of the Ariel: an astonishingly close result.

Provenance: The Lipton Tea Company
