This is a second impression, first US printing, of The Best of Sail, by the British soldier, historian, sailor and author Basil Lubbock (1876-1944). It is a collection of 36 paintings of famous clipper ships, and accompanying historical notes, excerpted from the famous three-volume set, Sail: The Romance of the Clipper Ships, first published in 1927.
The three-volume collected set was created from the original front cover illustrations created for the British magazine, Blue Peter, by the legendary maritime painter, Jack Spurling (1870-1933). The text includes the history of each ship, along with lore and legend, and is a treasure for those who value stories of the sea. This single volume is a selection of the 36 most significant ships featured in the original three-volume set. Each featured ship is portrayed in a full-color full-page illustration along with the original text provided by Lubbock. I attach photos of the contents.
