Elegant late 19th-century boudoir card photograph depicting the sleek racing yacht Daphne, her sails full as she glides across the water during what is likely a regatta. Marked with the number "20" on the mainsail, the vessel is shown from a broadside view with fine rigging detail visible throughout. On the horizon, a spectator steamer can be seen flying signal flags, lending a sense of occasion and competition.

The print is mounted on its original photographer’s card, imprinted C. Miller, 60 and 62 Nassau Street, N.Y., with the title DAPHNE printed beneath the image. The clean composition, atmospheric water, and rigging shadows on the sails give this image great visual depth. A striking maritime image ideal for collectors of nautical history, competitive sailing, or 19th-century American photography.
