Photograph of a print depicting the yacht "America" in side view, with title and measurements printed in the lower margin of the print. The photograph is mounted. Below it is a clipping of an advertisement for the print, mounted on the same board. The advertisement reads,
"The only original American Print and accurate representation of this beautiful ves-sel, is that drawn by BROWN & SEVERIN, from the original model and work plans, and corrected by the Builder, Geo. Steers, Esq,. who expresses his approval as follows:
Messrs. Brown & Severin--Gentlemen: Accept my thanks for the beautiful copy of your Print of the Yacht America you sent me. I am much gratified with your success in producing such a correct representation of the vessel. Altogether as a likeness and a picture, it is unequalled by anything I have seen.
Hoping your skill and enterprise will be amply rewarded by extensive sale of the Print,
I remain, yours truly,
Geo. Steers, Builder of the Yacht America.
For Sale at the Publishers' office, No. 142 Fulton-street, and at the different Print Stores, &c."
