About the Giclee Edition: These prints are produced using state-of-the-art digital printing methods. The fidelity to the original offered by this method is outstanding - this is as close to holding the original painting as you can get! The process is slow and meticulous. As a result there will be far fewer prints in these editions. Only archival inks are used, assuring longevity. Each print is hand signed and numbered in the image. Prints on canvas include a generous two inch border for your frame shop to stretch the canvas. The great Herreshoff schooner Westward is shown with all sails set, casting a huge shadow from her backlit sails as she leads King George V's Britannia on the downwind leg of a race in the Solent in 1925. The American built Westward was much admired by the huge crowds that followed yacht racing in the years before the outbreak of WWI - and the end of the big class.
