Henley Regatta - the Finish
Including the Key Plate
Dickinson & Foster, 1894.
44 x 74cm. An original hand-coloured lithograph printed and coloured by Dickinson & Foster. Mounted and framed. With the corresponding key plate (25 x 36cm). A fine example, coloured well, with a little spotting to the margins. The key plate with slightly more spotting. Both framed in early oak frames and glazed.
One of the suite of four lithographs of Henley Regatta produced by Dickinson and Foster in 1893 after oils by Henry Jermyn Brooks. The four original oil paintings of Regatta scenes from 1891 and 1892, were exhibited at The Church Institute in Henley-on-Thames during the 1893 Regatta.
A contemporary review of the exhibition in the Henley Advertiser commented "I am impressed with their great interest to boating men, and with their genuine historical value. They will hand down to posterity a faithful representation of what Henley was like at the end of the nineteenth century."
Uncommon, especially so in the hand-coloured state.
