DESCRIPTION: This lithograph, produced around 1866 by marine artist Thomas Goldsworthy Dutton, depicts the cutter yacht Avalon, a 40-ton vessel registered with the Royal Harwich Yacht Club. The image commemorates her victory at the Lowestoft Regatta, where she earned the Great Eastern Railway Company’s prize that year. Dutton, recognized for his precision and craftsmanship, portrays the yacht under full sail, cutting cleanly through the water. Executed as a two-stone lithograph with hand coloring, the work captures both the competitive spirit of the regatta and the refined grace of mid-19th-century yachting.
