About the Item

The Endeavour. c.1935. Pencil and watercolor on watercolor board. 14 3/8 x 20 7/8. Signed in pencil, lower right; titled in pencil, verso. Housed in a subtle 23 1/2 x 36-inch light brown wood frame. The sailing yacht Endeavour is a 130 foot J Class classic sailing sloop which was launched in 1934 and embodies one of the most formidable and famous sailing yachts in the world. Endeavour was designed and built by the Camper and Nicholsons Yard in England as one of the yachts to challenge for the ultimate sailing yacht race - America's Cup. She came closer to winning the race than any other challenger up to that time, with only an amateur crew sailing her to the finish line. Upon her return to England, she dominated the British yacht racing scene for many years. In 1938 she was laid up for the duration of World War II, retiring from her exceptional racing career of four years. The Endeavor has been renowned as the most beautiful J class classic yacht ever built.

Rio della Misericordia, Venice.
By James McBey
Located in Storrs, CT
Rio della Misericordia. October 1924. Watercolor. 14 x 8 3/4. McBey did a striking nocturnal view of the bridge in his 1926 drypoint, The Bridge by Night Carter 232. Signed and dated, lower right; titled verso. Housed in a French mat and a 22 x 16 1/2-inch gold leaf frame. The Rio Della Misericordia ( from the Venetian to the Misericordia Canal ) is a canal from Venice in the sestiere of Cannaregio, Contrada San Marzillan in Italy. The river runs along the old Servite convent. The canal is crossed by two bridges, from east to west: the San Marziale spawning linking the campo of the same name with the Fondamenta de la Misericordia and the dei dei Servi or Betania linking the Mensa di Betania to the Fondamenta de la Misericordia .
