Note
Pictorial map of the 1934 America's Cup yacht races, with nautical rope-form decorative border. Showing the waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts where the race took place. At the upper portion of the map a decorative fan-like rendering of the compass directions from the starting buoy, within a ten-mile circle and a fifteen-mile circle. Cartouche are pictures of previous America's Cup yachts and their flags with explanatory notes, showing Endeavour, the 1934 challenger, and Rainbow, contending for defending honors that year and Schooner America in the middle. Includes "History of the Races for the America's Cup" listing past participants and results, and a “History of the Schooner ‘America." Apparently Clegg issued a limited edition of this print, slightly larger sized and signed by him.
