Laurus Auxiliary Schooner 1901 Original Maritime Lithograph Poster America’s Cup Era
An original 1901 maritime lithograph depicting the auxiliary schooner Laurus, a finely rendered small-format print issued in the context of early 20th-century yachting culture and the America’s Cup era, portraying the 68-foot vessel under sail in open water with understated tonal gradation and precise draftsmanship characteristic of turn-of-the-century marine illustration; built in 1900 by C. & R. Poillon and measuring 46 feet at the waterline, the Laurus is presented here as both a technical and aesthetic subject, reflecting the period’s fascination with competitive sailing and naval design; printed as a lithograph and professionally linen-backed, this example remains a refined and historically grounded piece within the canon of early maritime sporting imagery.
