About Remarques: Remarqued prints are a popular way to acquire a work of original art in addition to the limited edition print. Each of John Mecray's remarques are unique hand rendered pencil drawings relating directly to the subject of the print. They are carefully crafted and complete in every detail. These gem-like drawings embellish the lower border area and effectively increase the value of the print. His remarques have always been dedicated to the last 75 prints in the edition. Each remarque is serially numbered and initialed.
About the Art: In the tradition of his most popular work John comes in close to the action in 1930 as the newly launched J-Class sloop Shamrock V races downwind with all sails set. King George V's Britannia can be seen in close pursuit.. Shamrock will soon depart for Newport Rhode Island to challenge for the America's Cup.
