James Edward Buttersworth Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Water colorist, b. 1817 - d. 1894

(b Middlesex, England, 1817; d West Hoboken, NJ, 1894) British/American Painter. Born in England to a family of marine painters, James Buttersworth traveled to New York in 1847 and had settled there permanently by the following year. At the time of Buttersworth's arrival, New York was primarily a maritime city and the largest center of transportation in the nation, affording the artist plenty of subject matter in the clipper ships and steamers that came in and out of the surrounding ports. Over the next few decades, however, as new innovations abounded and the shipping industry was restructured, New York's harbors became markedly less active. Richard B. Grassby writes, "Paradoxically, as American shipping declined and steam edged out sail, interest in recreational sailing boomed. Buttersworth was very much aware of this, and from the 1870s on he focused his attention on yachting, and expression of the ambitions, industry, and competitive pleasures in nineteenth-century America.

              Attributed to James E. Buttersworth (1817-1894) Sovereign of the Seas oil on canvas unsigned, titled, and inscribed Built by Donald McKay, verso, with illegible numerical notations, likely specifications of the vessel 15 1/4 x 20 1/2 inches. This painting was likely based on the widely circulated print To Donald McKay, Esq, Builder of the Magnificent Clipper Ship Sovereign of the Seas, first published by Nathaniel Currier in 1852. McKay (1810-1880) was a Canadian-born American ship-builder famous for the record-setting speeds achieved by his extreme clippers. Among these vessels was the Sovereign of Seas, built by McKay in New York and launched in 1852. At the time of her construction, the Sovereign was the fastest sailing ship ever built. However, in an untimely turn of events, she was wrecked in the Malacca Straits in 1859.
