EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph showcases the magnificent Clipper Ship, Flying Cloud, designed by Donald McKay of Boston in 1852. Regarded as one of the most remarkable clippers ever constructed, this print captures its grandeur and historical significance. The Flying Cloud was a true masterpiece of naval engineering during the 19th century. The image depicts the ship gracefully sailing through North American waters with its billowing sails catching the wind. Its sleek design and towering masts evoke a sense of awe and admiration for both sailors and landlubbers alike. The attention to detail in this illustration is impeccable, showcasing every intricate feature that made this vessel so extraordinary. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Currier & Ives' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back to an era when these majestic ships ruled the seas. The vivid colours bring life to each element – from the deep blue ocean beneath it to the red flags fluttering atop its mast. This print serves as a testament to America's rich maritime heritage and reminds us of our nation's pioneering spirit during a time when clipper ships played a vital role in trade and exploration. It stands as a tribute not only to Donald McKay's genius but also to all those who sailed aboard such vessels, braving treacherous waters in pursuit of adventure and prosperity.
