This photochrom shows yachts lined up at the start of a race at Yarmouth, the harbor town on England's Isle of Wight, where the Solent has long drawn sailing enthusiasts. The photochrom process, developed in Switzerland, built up color from several lithographic stones, so the sails and water carry a soft, painted quality. Detroit Publishing Co. issued this view in its 1905 catalog of English scenes, and it was made in the years between about 1890 and 1900, when yachting was a popular pastime for wealthy English families.
