- ANTONIO JACOBSEN OIL ON CANVAS "AMERICA'S
ANTONIO JACOBSEN OIL ON CANVAS "AMERICA'S CUP TRIALS, 1...Important Antonio Jacobsen (1850-1921) Oil on Canvas " America's Cup Trials, 1871, Yacht Dauntless ", signed lower right Antonio Jacobsen, 1905, in carved gold leaf frame.
This painting contains more vessels and shows more action than most yachting paintings in general and Jacobsens' in particular. At the center of the canvas is the yacht Dauntless bearing down with her bow facing the viewer and heeling on her port side. She is flying the New York Yacht Club burgee from the foremast and the burgee of her owner, Commodore James Gordon Bennett, Jr. from the rear mast and the American flag off of the gaff. Just behind her, sailing with a similar rig and in parallel, is either Sappho or Columbia racing for the honor of defending the America's Cup of 1871. This yacht is also flying the New York Yacht Club burgee. All four vessels on the left are flying the American flag. To the right of Dauntless are three more tugs and to their right three small vessels in the distance.
Note: The yacht Dauntless was built as a sloop in 1866 by Forsyth & Morgan in Mystic, Connecticut. She was built for Caldwell Colt and her home port was Newport. She was purchased in 1869 by James Gordon Bennett, Jr. who commissioned John B. Van Deusen to redesign her and change her rig from a sloop to a schooner. James Gordon Bennett, Jr. who had gained fame from winning the Great Ocean Race of 1866 with his yacht, Henrietta, became Commodore of the New York Yacht Club 1871, the year he challenged to defend the cup with Dauntless. He served between 1871-1874, a three year term instead of two. Dauntless was 123 feet in length, 26.7 feet in breadth and she drew 12.6 feet. Dauntless was not selected to defend the cup of 1871 and the honor went to Columbia.

French, 1882-1932
Untitled, 1925
Pochoir, signed and dated in graphite
Two nude women washing their hair in a wide fountain, beneath a stylized tree with seven doves. This illustration is most well-known as the cover for Les Chansons de Bilitis (The Songs of Bilitis) , the sapphic poetry collection by Pierre Louys focused on the psuedotranslations of a Grecian woman, Bilitis, a courtesan of Sappho, found etched on tomb walls in Cyprus. This illustration was used for the cover of the 1922 Corrard edition, though this image is three years younger. Matted behind glass, gilt and ebonized frame, a label to verso from Artiques, San Francisco stating the title as Fountain , though no evidence exists to suggest Barbier gave any title to this work.
Impression: 8 1/4 x 6 3/4 in. (21 x 17.1 cm.), frame: 16 x 14 1/4 in. (40.6 x 36.2 cm.)
Born in Nantes, France on 16 October 1882, Barbier was 29 years old when he mounted his first exhibition in 1911 and was subsequently swept to the forefront of his profession with commissions to design theatre and ballet costumes, to illustrate books, and to produce haute couture fashion illustrations.
For the next 20 years Barbier led a group from the Ecole des Beaux Arts who were nicknamed by Vogue "The Knights of the Bracelet"—a tribute to their fashionable and flamboyant mannerisms and style of dress. Included in this élite circle were Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Pierre Brissaud (both of whom were Barbier's first cousins), Paul Iribe, Georges Lepape, and Charles Martin.
During his career Barbier also turned his hand to jewelry, glass and wallpaper design, wrote essays and many articles for the prestigious Gazette du bon ton. In the mid-1920s he worked with Erté to design sets and costumes for the Folies Bergère and in 1929 he wrote the introduction for Erté's acclaimed exhibition and achieved mainstream popularity through his regular appearances in L'Illustration magazine.
Barbier died in 1932 at the very pinnacle of his success. He is buried in Cemetery Miséricorde, Nantes.

She was skippered by Charles Francis Adams in the 1914 America's Cup defender selection trials, against Vanitie and Defiance. The outbreak of World War I forced the delay of the 1914 America's Cup races. The America's Cup returned in 1920, and Resolute prevailed in the selection races before successfully defending the Cup in July, with Adams at the helm. Resolute lost the first two races before recovering to defend the Cup 3-2 against Shamrock IV. In 1925 Resolute was sold to E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia, and her racing career lasted another ten years. In 1930 she participated in the America's Cup selection races as a trial horse against potential defenders.The centerboard schooner Resolute was designed and built by David Carll at City Island, New York. As part of the schooner fleet of the New York Yacht Club in the 1870s and 1880s, Resolute was of the same class and raced against other well-known schooners such as Sappho, Dreadnought, Dauntless and Fleetwing.
