Presented is a nicely framed lithograph from the magazine, “The Illustrated American”, dated 1890. It is by Fred S. Cozzens and depicts some of the contenders for the America’s Cup race during that period. They include America, Grayling, Sachem, Iroquois, and Sea Fox. Commodore Gerry is also pictured. Eldridge Gerry was Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. He held office from 1886 to 1892. We believe this Litho represents some of the yachts that were trying out for the next Cup race during the period from 1887 to 1893 when the next cup race took place.
