DESCRIPTION SITE :

Charming photo of Mrs William Henry Henn on board the Galatea, which was an America's Cup challenger in 1886. There's nothing to say where the photo appeared, but Jeff says that it's a Photomezzotype. Mrs Henn is clearly young, dressed in tartan and sitting in a cane chair, and a she's accompanied by a curly retriever dog, an elaborate silver fox fur (on skylight, says Jeff) and there's a named fender at base of the davit. There's also a pinrail between the davits. In the background, is that a barge or hulk?
