About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this Limited Print 467/600 by J. Steven Dews ''The Tweed in The Channel'' 1875. Charming print framed in a military campaign style frame. The tweed was a fully rigged clipper ship famous the world over for its speed. It was launched in 1854. This Bombay-built, full-rigged ship first sailed as the paddle steamer Punjab owned and operated by the East India Company and served as a troopship during the Crimean war. It was sold to John Willis and Sons, London, in 1862 and converted to a clipper. It sailed the New Zealand-Australia-England route towards the end of its life, well after the gold-rush era - for example, in 1874, February 3 - April 27, it sailed Melbourne to London in 83 days with a cargo of wool. After conversion to sail she had a successful career and was broken up in 1888 following storm damage. Her timbers were said to have been used for roofing a Church in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. We have lightly restored the frame by cleaning it, hand waxed, and hand polished the frame. Condition-wise, there will be some aged-related marks here and there but nothing in particular. Dimensions: 104 W x 4 D x 83 H cm. Please carefully look at the pictures to see the condition before purchasing, as they form part of the description.
