<i>Britannia</i> &amp; <i>Vigilant</i> race head-to-head, by J. Edmunds, English (fl.1870s). Signed LR: J. Edmunds. <i>Britannia</i> faces down the 1893 America’s Cup champion on the home course in the Solent, between Southampton and the Isle of Wight, which is the headland seen in the distance. More specifically, the racing yachts are preparing to round the East Lepe buoy. This would make the race the important summer Cowes Regatta of 1895. <i>Britannia</i>  has already beaten <i>Vigilant</i> in their first two meetings, at the Muir Memorial Cup Challenge at the Mudhook Yacht Club, and at the Queen’s Cup with 100,000 spectators along the banks of the Clyde.
