Description
English: Yachts the property of Gentlemen belonging to the Yacht Clubs preparing to start off Greenwich College River Thames

A lithograph inscribed 'Painted & Drawn on Stone by J. Rogers Senr' showing eight cutter-rigged yachts manoeuvring off Greenwich Hospital. Two fly flags showing a white cross on a blue ground, two fly a white pennant, one flies a plain blue flag, one a St George's cross and one a red pennant. A paddle steamer appears in the right background and two men in a wherry in the right foreground. The almost axial view of the Hospital is largely concealed by the sails but is nonsensical, the domes being represented more as drums with conical roofs. It is signed by the artist in the plate.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
