"The Great Tea Race 1866" - Signed W Barratt & A Dufty
This is an excellent Original Watercolour. Interesting through it seems to be signed by two different artists... one on the left and one on the right. The Left side says A Dufty photo Sydney NSW. the right side says W Barrett 1929. Im not sure what the meaning of this is but both are highly acclaimed artists in their own right. This Painting is of Ariel and Taeping. In the middle third of the 19th century, the clippers which carried cargoes of tea from China to Britain would compete in informal races to be first ship to dock in London with the new crop of each season. The Great Tea Race of 1866 was keenly followed in the press, with an extremely close finish. Taeping docked 28 minutes before Ariel - after a passage of more than 14,000 miles. This piece is in a period 1920's Frame. There are some mould spots but im hoping they are on the inside of the glass. They are not real prominent, this painting is so detailed, you lose yourself in it.. love it ! The frame measures 98cm by 81cm high
