As other American yachts claimed victory in Cup races, they too were immortalized. Buttersworth's favored New York background appears again in Yacht Magic Off Battery of New York Harbor, circa 1871, in which Magic, winner of the America's Cup in 1870, dominates the canvas, while a race can be seen on its left-hand side. Such scenes underscore the growing prominence of yacht racing in America at the time, and especially in New York, whose New York Yacht Club won twenty-four consecutive America's Cup races.
