"The Winning Yacht" - My digital hand colorization of William Wellstood ´s (1819 - 1900) engraving from 1885. The B/W original is in the Library of Congress archive.

 

William Wellstood was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States in 1830. He and his elder brother John both became engravers.

William, who specialized in the stipple engraving technique, was famous for his portraits, historical and landscape engravings. His brother John became a leading bank note engraver.
