An etching of a seascape with a Dutch cutterand schooner. The hatch marks are rough and uneven. The line for the two main vessels are relatively more fine and detailed. Stray ink spots are on the top right corner suggests that the print was hastily made. Various other sailing vessels and the view of a cliff on the coast are visible in the distance. The collector, Arthur H. Clark, used this print from his collection to illustrate his book 'The History of Yachting, 1600-1815' (New York & London: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1904), 164.
